A Drug Conviction Can Have a Long-Lasting Negative Impact on Your Life
A drug conviction can have a devastating and long-lasting impact on your life that is difficult to overcome. Some of the legal ramifications of a drug crime include:
- Jail time
- Long-term prison sentences
- Probation
- Mandatory drug treatment
- Community service
- Excessive fines
- A permanent mark on your criminal record
Not only are there serious legal consequences for drug offenses but personal implications as well. A criminal conviction could cause damage to your reputation and erode your relationships, leading people you work with or hold dear to mistrust you, lose faith in you, or distance themselves from you.
It will also make it more difficult to obtain employment, and Texas does not prohibit an employer from considering your criminal record when hiring.
