Understanding Intent to Deliver in Texas

Most of the statues that prohibit the possession, use, and distribution of illegal substances are contained in the Texas Controlled Substances Act. Under the Act, it is against the law for an individual to knowingly possess, deliver, or manufacture a controlled substance with the intent to distribute it. In this context, distributing and delivering a controlled substance mean about the same thing: dealing drugs. Most charges of intent to deliver are the result of an investigation by law enforcement officials, often with the help of tips from informants. They can enhance a possession charge to Intent to Deliver based on the surrounding circumstances. Scales, Baggies, individual doses, and even the amount of drugs in question can be proof utilized.

Intent to Manufacture

It is also against the law to possess drugs with intent to manufacture. According to the Texas Controlled Substances Act, "manufacture" means growing, cultivating, or processing an illegal drug. For example, a marijuana growing operation or a meth lab would be considered illegal drug manufacturing. The law provides that manufacturing can also mean breaking down packages of illegal drugs into smaller packages and preparing it for distribution. Therefore, if you are found with large amounts of a controlled substance, you could be charged with possession with intent to deliver or manufacture.

There are many factors that could be used by law enforcement or prosecutors to show that you had the intent to manufacture or deliver, including but not limited to:

• An amount of drugs that is too much for personal use;
• Equipment for weighing and packaging;
• Large amounts of cash;
• Weapons, guard dogs, or other security measures; and
• Chemicals, cutting agents, or other materials.

The charges and penalties associated with intent to deliver or manufacture will depend on the drug in question, the amount found by law enforcement, and your previous history of drug crimes.
