Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
possession of meth with intent to deliver
my brother-in-law was recently arrested for possession of meth with intent to deliver ( under 4, but less than 200 ) actual amount was 41.2 grams
he has a couple of other cases pending. probation violation ( minor in possession of alcohol) and evading arrest. im curious how much time is generally given for the meth charge. he has a small child that will need care while he is doing his time and we really need to know how long we can expect for him to be gone.

Re: possession of meth with intent to deliver
The answer depends totally upon what system he is charged in. If in the federal system, expect in the neighborhood of 5 years, no probation, no parole, 53 days/year good time. His prior record could raise the ante. There is a drug war on, and it is focused on meth right now, and meth defendants do time.
The answer could be more favorable in the state system.
Surely he has a lawyer who can answer these questions? Almost no one faces such charges without a PD or a CJA lawyer.
