Houston, TX Weapons Charges Defense Lawyer
The State of Texas treats weapons charges very seriously. Even carrying a weapon unlawfully can result in incarceration for first-time offenders. If the weapon was discharged unlawfully, carried by a member of a criminal organization, or used in the commission of another crime, the penalties for a weapons charge can be as weighty as for any other crime. The stakes for a weapons charge are very high, and it is important to retain a criminal defense attorney who understands every part of the law. A former prosecutor, I now use my background to help defend clients against firearms and other weapons charges.
When weapons are part of a criminal complaint, the circumstances around the case are paramount. I carefully examine your criminal history, your state of mind, what you intended to use the weapon for, how the weapon was used, what led to the criminal event, where a weapon was found, how evidence was handled, and other relevant concerns to find holes in the prosecution’s case in order to build your defense.
