Marijuana Cultivation Defense Attorney in Plano
An Experienced Defense For Marijuana Cultivation Allegations
While the debate surrounding the use and legalization of marijuana (“weed”) rages on, Texas maintains a firm stance on enforcing extremely harsh drug crime laws. As Texas is a state that does not approve of the medicinal use of cannabis, it views any possession, distribution, and sale of marijuana or marijuana paraphernalia as an explicitly illegal offense. Local law enforcement agencies and prosecutors also come down hard on those charged with marijuana cultivation.
If you or your loved one has recently been arrested and/or charged with the cultivation of marijuana or with operating a grow house, allow our firm’s Plano criminal defense attorneys to fight aggressively on your behalf to shield you from potentially devastating criminal penalties.
Penalties For The Cultivation Of Marijuana
The charges and penalties you may face for marijuana cultivation vary considerably. Prosecutors will pay particular attention to the amount of marijuana or plants allegedly in your possession and whether you may have prior criminal convictions. Under Texas Law, marijuana cultivation charges range from misdemeanor offenses to the most serious first-degree felonies.
- 2 ounces or less: Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days imprisonment
- 2 to 4 ounces: Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year imprisonment
- 4 ounces to 5 pounds: State jail felony, penalized by up to two years imprisonment
- 5 pounds to 50 pounds: Third-degree felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison
- 50 to 2,000 pounds: Second-degree felony, penalized by up to 20 years in prison
- 2,000 pounds or more: First-degree felony, incarceration ranging from five to 99 years or life
In addition to large fines and criminal records, these harsh sentencing guidelines make it clear that Texas takes marijuana drug crimes seriously. When handling these cases, our legal team draws from decades of collective experience, Attorney Jason Zendeh Del’s experience as a former prosecutor, and our unswerving commitment to clients to challenge the prosecution’s case. In certain cases, alternative resolutions may also be obtained as a way to preserve your freedom.

Jason was very kind, very thorough and not judgemental. I was scared on the first day of court and he reassured me and got me an amazing deal that day so we wouldn't have to go back to court.- Faythe S. -
"Proactive Communication"
His responsiveness and attention to detail made all the difference in my case, and I can only imagine how hard he would fight for clients in more critical situations.- Doug C. -

Jason has surpassed my expectations and got it dismissed without me even having to attend a court date. We had other questions on other matters and gave us great advice on those also.- Zach R.
