While drug possession of any kind is illegal in Texas, some drugs carry a heavier penalty than others.

It is classified under Texas Law as a Penalty Group 2 drug with other drugs such as PCP, mescaline, and hashish. Should you be accused possessing ecstasy, then you should contact a Dallas Fort Worth criminal defense attorney from The Law Offices of Wayne A. Fowler, whose skill and experience can help reduce or drop your charges.
Possession and Distribution Charges
Looking for an attorney for an ecstasy charge in Dallas Fort Worth? If you have been caught with any amount of a Group 2 drug, such as ecstasy, then you will be facing some form of felony charge. Possessing less than a gram is classified as a state jail felony with a maximum of 2 years in a state jail and/or a possible fine of up to $10,000. If you have more than a gram, but less than 4 grams, then you will be charged with a third-degree felony which has maximum penalty of 10 years in state prison and the possibility of a fine up to $10,000.
Between 4 and 400 grams will get you a second-degree felony, which means up to 20 years in a state prison and/ or a fine of up to $10,000. Having more than 400 grams of ecstasy is the highest possible penalty of up to life in prison and/or a fine of $50,000, because it is classified as an enhanced first-degree felony.
As with most drug crimes, distributing ecstasy incurs a larger penalty than merely possessing it. If you are caught distributing less than a gram of MDMA, then it is classified as a state jail felony with a maximum of 2 years in a state jail and/or a possible fine of up to $10,000. Delivering between 1 and 4 grams classifies as a second-degree felony, up to 20 years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
If you are charged with distributing 4 to 400 grams of ecstasy, then the state will categorize your crime as felony of the first degree, for which you may receive life imprisonment and a maximum $10,000 fine. As for possession of more than 400 grams, distributing over 400 grams of MDMA will incur penalties of possible life imprisonment with a 10 year minimum and possible fine of up to $50,000.
