People can be arrested in South Texas for any alleged violation of state or federal law. When a person is charged with a criminal offense, it is extremely important to understand all of the possible consequences of a conviction.
Prosecutors must prove the guilt of alleged offenders beyond a reasonable doubt—the highest possible legal standard. If jurors have any reason to doubt that people committed the crimes they were charged with, the jury must find such individuals not guilty.

The Gracia Law Firm, P.C. regularly handles arrests stemming from such alleged misdemeanor and felony offenses as:
- Drug Crimes including Marijuana Crimes
These criminal offenses have varying penalties depending on the degree of the crime committed. But, no matter how serious the criminal charge is initially, prison time, steep fines, and significant impacts on clients’ work and personal life are all consistent threats in every case. A criminal offense conviction is continually invasive and can dramatically shift the course of a client’s life long-term. All cases must be considered seriously.
That being said, if you are someone facing criminal charges for the first time in Texas, there are often options available to you that are not usually offered to repeat offenders, such as:
- Deferred Adjudication,
- Pretrial Diversion Programs,
- or you may be eligible to have your case handled in a specialty court with a focus on rehabilitation.
