Understanding Texas Law on THC Concentrates

Understanding Texas Law on THC Concentrates

Texas has some of the strictest laws regarding THC concentrates.

Unlike marijuana flower, which can result in a misdemeanor for smaller amounts, any amount of THC in concentrated form is automatically classified as a felony.

This applies to products like:

Oils and distillates
Waxes (dabs, shatter)
Resins
THC edibles (gummies, chocolates, baked goods)
Vape pen liquids

Under the Texas Health and Safety Code, THC (excluding marijuana and low-THC cannabis as defined by law) falls under Penalty Group 2. The severity of the felony depends on the total weight of the substance containing the THC—not just the THC itself. For example, the weight of ingredients in an edible is included, which can lead to unexpectedly severe penalties.

Common THC-Related Offenses We Handle

At Law Offices of Gary Trichter, we represent individuals facing a range of THC-related offenses, including:

Possession of THC concentrates: Often the most common charge, possession is classified as a felony regardless of the amount. This includes vape pens, cartridges, edibles, and other concentrated forms.
Delivery or manufacturing of THC concentrates: Charges related to selling, distributing, or producing THC concentrates carry much harsher penalties, often involving higher-degree felonies with mandatory minimum sentences.
Possession with intent to deliver THC concentrates: Prosecutors may pursue this charge based on factors such as the quantity of THC, packaging materials, ledgers, or other circumstantial evidence.

Even trace amounts in a vape pen or part of an edible can lead to a felony arrest. It is vital to approach these charges with care and preparation.

Penalties for THC Offenses in Texas

A THC conviction in Texas carries serious consequences that can affect your life permanently.

Because these offenses are often classified as felonies, the penalties are severe:

State jail felony. Less than 1 gram: 180 days to 2 years in a state jail facility and a fine of up to $10,000.
Third-degree felony. 1 to 4 grams: 2 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Second-degree felony. 4 to 400 grams: 2 to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
First-degree felony. 400 grams or more: 5 to 99 years (or life) in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 or more, depending on the charge (e.g., delivery-related offenses may carry higher fines).

In addition to imprisonment and fines, a felony conviction can lead to the loss of civil rights, including the right to vote and own firearms. You may also face a suspended driver’s license and significant challenges in securing employment, housing, or educational opportunities.
