Houston Drug Court
While it may not feel like it, if you have been charged with a drug crime in Houston, you actually have a little bit of luck on your side. Harris County has specialized courts for drug charges. These drug courts are more focused on rehabilitation than punishment, and encourage cooperation between the prosecution, defense, and court. If you are a first time offender or the drug crime charge is not severe, we are often able to work a plan that does not involve prison time. Instead, a diversion program, called Success Through Addiction Recovery, STAR, offers drug treatment and community service. We are sometimes even able to keep the drug charge off of your permanent record, which generally makes it substantially easier for you to find employment and obtain loans.
