Texas doesn't take possession of cocaine, or distribution of cocaine lightly. Even a gram of crack cocaine in your possession at the time of arrest can result in felony charges. The cocaine possession penalties and jail time will depend upon the amount of possession. As an example, conviction for less than one gram of cocaine may be punishable by up to two years in a state jail facility and/or by a fine not to exceed 10,000 dollars. Any or all of the state jail time and/or fines may be probated, in an eligible case, for up to five years.
