Texas Law & Vape Pens Containing THC
In Texas, vape pens containing any amount of THC (outside of the limited Texas Compassionate Use Program) are treated with extreme severity. While possession of small amounts of marijuana plant material might result in a misdemeanor, having THC in concentrated forms, such as vape cartridges, is automatically classified as a felony. This is because THC concentrates are categorized under Penalty Group 2 of the Texas Controlled Substances Act.
The severity of the charge depends on the total weight of the substance containing THC, including the liquid or oil in the cartridge. Even a partially used cartridge can lead to serious felony charges.
Consequences of a THC Vape Pen Conviction
A felony conviction for possessing a THC vape pen can lead to serious and life-altering consequences in Texas.
These include:
- Incarceration. Sentences can range from 180 days in a state jail facility to many years in prison, depending on the degree of the felony.
- Substantial fines. Fines can reach up to $10,000 or more.
- Driver’s license suspension. A conviction often results in an automatic suspension of driving privileges.
- Lasting criminal record. A felony record can create substantial obstacles to future employment, housing applications, educational opportunities, and the right to own a firearm. Professional licenses may also be jeopardized.
The seriousness of these potential outcomes highlights the need for a strong legal defense.
