hi can you give information on my husbands rights for probation he came back with a high number on his urine for thc (marijuana) when we found out ibuprofen causes false positives for that which he has been on daily for months any comments please let us know ty kena

kena, I'm not a lawyer and I don't have a very good understanding of Texas law. My suggestion is to closely read any court or legal documents your husband has been given. There may be local attorneys that might do simple consulting like this for small change or even pro bono.

My son has been arrested for the misdeamor possession of under 2 ounces. What is the most harsh penalty that he faces?

Dammit, it seems like those links have rotten. I thought they'd be good for a while.

Mike, again, I'm not a lawyer and my advice is merely what I can repeat back to you after digging around the Net a bit.

A misdemeanor possession (not "delivery" right? That would change things) of under two ounces could fall under two types of misdemeanors: Class A or Class B. Class A would apply if the amount was "four ounces or less but more than two ounces"; Class B would apply if the amount was "two ounces or less."

Getting convicted of a Class A misdemeanor results in a fine not to exceed $4000, confinement in jail for a term not to exceed one year, or both. Class Bs result in a fine not to exceed $2000, confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180 days, or both. And of course there are other legal things to be concerned with, such as prior convictions, warrants, tickets, etc.

Another piece of information that someone may find useful is that I learned (the hard way) years ago that Amoxicillin (used to treat chronic bronchitis and a lot other things) tests positive for Cocaine. I had applied for a job at Harrah's casino here in Las Vegas, NV and when the HR rep asked me how I could explain the positive test result, which I hadn't expected, I was quite speechless and didn't know what to answer untiL I did some research and found out about false positives. There's a ton of other things that test positive for other things, such as poppy seed bagels causing false positive for opiates (so you can be labeled as a heroin addict for eating bagels) and there's a certain over the counter syrup (for coughs'n stuff) that tests positive for phenicyclidine (it's PCP, I don't know if I spelled it right). Anyway, Harrah's didn't care that I had paperwork showing that amoxicillin causes false positives but I didn't care enough to argue with them to keep the job. Good luck, anyone.

I had a drug case in 1994 and the state of Texas put a tax lien on me for $45,000.00. The case was dismissed under the double jeopardy clause.
How can I get the state to release this lien?
When I call them they tell me thy are not pursuing these cases but they will not release it.
Any input would sure help.

Kevin, I'm not a lawyer and I know nothing about how to get out of tax liens. Check with the county clerk or appraisal office where you live because I think they handle property tax liens and might be able to point you in the right direction.

Drizz, When I talked to the state tax office I was told to go to the court that issued the lien and they told me they would not release it even though it was a case that had been dismissed.
The lien was for not having drug tax stamps for the drugs that I was arrested for.
There has to be a way to get this removed, I just can not understand all of the legal mombo jumbo in the cases I have found on the internet.

HEY, JUST WANTED TO SEE IF YOU KNEW WHAT THE PUNISHMENT WOULD BE FOR TESTING POSITIVE FOR MARIJUANA WHILE ON PROBATION FOR THE SAME.
