Drug manufacturing and cultivation cases in Texas face harsher sentences than simple possession cases. Anyone who is convicted of a manufacturing felony could be sentenced to life imprisonment and as much as $250,000 in fines. Drug manufacturing and dealing are always considered a felony. Being charged with drug manufacturing has the potential to change your life forever.
Drug manufacturing charges may be brought against anyone who is directly or proximally involved in the making of an illegal substance. Even talking about helping a drug manufacturing enterprise may be classified as a drug manufacturing act in court.
Anyone who provides ingredients to drug manufacturers knowingly may also face charges. Even if a source provider claims ignorance about manufacturing, but a prosecutor or investigator can provide enough evidence that the provider should have known, he may still be charged and convicted under drug manufacturing laws in Texas.\

Understanding the possible outcomes of a conviction is only part of the puzzle when it comes to fighting a drug manufacturing charge.
