Hi Shelly! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
What are the benefits of testing drugs that you where arrested for a second or third time ? It was under a tenth of a gram just over what is considered a trace amount
Hi Shelly! In Texas, testing the drugs you're arrested for can be beneficial because:
- It confirms the substance is illegal, which is crucial for the prosecution.
- It verifies the precise amount, which may impact the severity of charges.
- It can be a defense strategy if results show a legal substance or an error in initial identification.
Do you have any specific concerns about your case?
Yes I heard that if it is a small amount and maybe the evidence wouldn't be enough to test so it has to dismissed for lack of evidence maybe in Texas some thing
In Texas, the dismissal of drug charges due to insufficient evidence can occur if:
- The substance is too small to be accurately tested.
- The prosecution cannot prove it is an illegal drug.
- Evidence is contaminated or improperly handled.
Do you have any specific details about the evidence in your case?
