Why You Should Call Before Pleading Out
In my experience, drug cases that appear airtight on the surface often have significant problems underneath, specifically in how law enforcement obtained the physical evidence. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unlawful government intrusion, and Texas courts enforce these protections strictly when defense counsel properly raises them.
These are just a few of the questions I can raise:
Was the Stop Legal in the First Place?
Along the San Marcos stretch of Interstate 35, particularly near high-traffic exits like Highway 80 or Wonder World Drive, regional drug task forces and K-9 units monitor vehicles closely. Officers frequently utilize minor, technical equipment issues, such as a dirty license plate, a failure to signal for a full 100 feet before changing lanes, or briefly touching a lane line, as a legal pretext to pull drivers over and initiate roadside questioning.
Under Texas law, an officer cannot prolong a traffic stop past the time necessary to handle the initial traffic citation simply to wait for a drug-sniffing dog to arrive on the scene. We carefully examine the precise minute-by-minute timelines in the police dashcam logs to identify where local officers may have unlawfully extended a detention to perform an unauthorized drug investigation.
