Cocaine Trafficking Laws

Trafficking any amount of cocaine is illegal and will likely result in steep fines, as well as jail time. However, the severity of your sentence can vary significantly based on the amount of the drug you’re charged with trafficking.

For instance, trafficking less than 1 gram of cocaine is a state jail felony. This can result in fines of up to $10,000, in addition to a prison sentence ranging from 180 days to 2 years. On the other hand, trafficking 1.5 grams of cocaine is a 2nd-degree felony that could lead to a 20-year prison sentence. This means that as little as half a gram of cocaine can make a huge difference in the outcome of your case.

The penalties for trafficking cocaine in the state of Texas are grouped into five categories, ranging from state jail felony to 1st-degree felony. If you’re charged with trafficking 400 grams or more of cocaine, you may be fined as much as $250,000 and sentenced to anywhere from 15 to 99 years in prison.
