Since Texas and Houston specifically is so close to the border of another country, drug transportation is punished very severely. Drug transportation can be defined as the moving of an illegal or controlled substance from one location to another. The method of transportation can be anything from a motor vehicle, train, to aircraft. 

The punishment of this specific crime is dependent on a variety of factors, such as the amount of drugs, geographic location, type of drug, and what personnel was involved in the movement. Because of the variety of factors that your case is dependent on, it is crucial that you get in touch with an experienced lawyer with the working knowledge of dealing with these types of cases. The right criminal defense attorney can significantly increase your chances of never having to set foot in jail.
