Why Choose Our Criminal Defense Team

When a drug manufacturing accusation threatens your freedom and livelihood, the lawyer you choose matters. You need more than someone who only negotiates pleas. You need a team that is comfortable in front of a jury and understands how the other side builds its case. We have built Calfas Law Group, PLLC around that kind of courtroom readiness.

Our attorneys include a former Bexar County Assistant District Attorney and a former County Court Judge who has presided over and tried more than 260 jury cases. Those roles gave us insight into how prosecutors evaluate evidence, how judges view motions and arguments, and what tends to influence outcomes in local criminal courts. We bring that perspective to every file.

We handle a wide range of criminal matters, from misdemeanors to serious felony cases, including murder and capital murder defense. That breadth of experience means we are not intimidated by complex investigations, large amounts of evidence, or aggressive charging decisions. We prepare every defense as if the case could go to trial, which often improves our ability to negotiate from a position of strength.

Understanding Drug Manufacturing Charges

Drug manufacturing charges are different from simple possession. Under Texas law, manufacturing can include producing, preparing, or processing controlled substances, as well as operating or maintaining equipment that prosecutors claim is used to create drugs. These charges often arise from allegations involving methamphetamine labs, THC extraction, pill operations, or cultivation of certain plants.

The severity of a manufacturing charge usually depends on the type of substance, the alleged quantity, and whether there are aggravating factors, such as weapons, minors present, or proximity to certain locations. A case involving a small operation with limited equipment is treated very differently from a large scale lab. Even so, most manufacturing charges are felonies that carry substantial potential prison time.

Law enforcement agencies may invest significant resources into these investigations. They may use confidential informants, controlled buys, surveillance, undercover officers, search warrants, and forensic lab testing. The state then tries to use this combination of evidence to show that you were not only around drugs but also actively producing or helping to produce them, often with an intent to deliver.

What To Do After A Drug Arrest

Being arrested or learning that you are under investigation for drug manufacturing is unsettling for anyone. You may feel pressure to explain yourself to police or to answer questions so you “do not look guilty.” That instinct can put you at risk. The steps you take in the first days can strongly shape your case.

Here are practical steps you can take right away:

• Stay calm and avoid discussing the case with anyone other than your attorney, including in phone calls or on social media.
• Assert your right to remain silent, and politely decline to answer questions from law enforcement without a lawyer present.
• Do not consent to additional searches of your home, phone, or vehicle without speaking to counsel.
• Gather any documents, messages, or information that could be relevant, and keep them where they can be shared securely with your defense team.
• Contact a criminal defense attorney who regularly appears in Bexar County courts so you can understand the process, bond conditions, and next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What penalties can I face for drug manufacturing?

Drug manufacturing charges in Texas are usually felonies, and potential penalties can range from several years in prison to much longer terms, depending on the substance and quantity. Fines can be significant, and a conviction can impact employment, licensing, and immigration. The specific range depends on the facts of your case.

Should I talk to police before I have a lawyer?

It is generally safer to avoid answering questions about a drug investigation until you have spoken with an attorney. Anything you say can be used against you, even if you believe you are helping yourself. We recommend asserting your right to remain silent and requesting legal counsel first.

How can your team challenge drug manufacturing evidence?

We review how police obtained evidence, whether searches were lawful, and how substances were tested and handled. If there are problems with warrants, chain of custody, lab work, or proof of intent to manufacture, we can raise those issues in negotiations or in court. The exact approach depends on your circumstances.
