Drug Possession Bonds in Potter County

Drug possession charges in Texas vary based on the type of drug and the amount. Here is how the charge levels work and what to expect with bail.

How Drug Possession Charges Work in Texas

Texas drug possession charges are based on two things: the penalty group the drug falls into and the weight or amount found. The more dangerous the drug and the larger the amount, the more serious the charge.

Marijuana is treated separately from other drugs. Under 2 ounces is a Class B misdemeanor. Between 2 and 4 ounces is a Class A misdemeanor. Over 4 ounces crosses into felony territory.

Penalty Group 1 includes methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl. These carry the harshest penalties. Even a small amount under 1 gram is a state jail felony. Larger amounts are second or first degree felonies.

Penalty Group 2 includes MDMA, PCP, and certain hallucinogens. Charges range from state jail felony to first degree felony depending on the amount.

Prescription pills without a valid prescription can be charged as Penalty Group 1 or 3 possession depending on the specific medication.

Drug Possession vs. Drug Delivery

Possession means having the drug for personal use. Delivery means giving or selling the drug to another person. Delivery charges are more serious than possession charges for the same drug and amount. See our drug charge bail bonds page for more on delivery and manufacturing charges.

Bail amounts for drug possession in Potter County depend on the charge level:

  • Marijuana under 2 oz (Class B): $500 to $1,500
  • Marijuana 2-4 oz (Class A): $1,000 to $2,500
  • Marijuana over 4 oz (state jail felony): $2,500 to $7,500
  • Meth or cocaine under 1g (state jail felony): $2,500 to $10,000
  • Meth or cocaine 1-4g (3rd degree felony): $5,000 to $25,000
  • Meth or cocaine 4-200g (2nd degree felony): $15,000 to $75,000
  • Over 200g (1st degree felony): $50,000 and up

These are typical ranges. The magistrate at the Potter County Detention Center sets the actual bail based on the case, the amount found, and the defendant's history.
