EXPOSING THE TRUTHSecrets of the Texas Criminal Justice System and Your Rights
Marijuana possession convictions carry a host of consequences that can haunt you for the rest of your life. Even if you don’t get jail time. Many police officers, prosecuting attorneys, judges, and even some defense attorneys are completely unaware of the ramifications that a conviction for a marijuana offense can have on a victim.
If you are convicted, the State of Texas can (and likely will) suspend your driver’s license for as much as six months. If you have a commercial driver’s license, you could lose it indefinitely. So, if you are a driver by trade, whether it’s a bus driver, long-distance rig driver. Or even a construction equipment operator, you may lose your job. Even if you simply depend on being able to drive to get to work, you could lose your job if you can’t get there.
Background checks have become routine these days. No company or likely any potential employer is going to afford you any level of trust when they see a drug arrest on your record.
The same goes for landlords. Even if you own your home, if you’ve got a mortgage and you lose your job. Particularly in this economy. A simple possession charge could result in your being unable to find another job and pay off your mortgage. You could lose your home.
