Possession of drugs can be a misdemeanor or a felony. It depends on the volume of the drug you possess and what classification of drug it is. All seven classifications of drugs in Texas can rise to the level of being a felony if you possess enough of them. For example, if you are caught with four ounces to less than five pounds of marijuana, you are charged with a state jail felony. Upward in volume from there reaches a 1st-degree felony for possessing more than 2,000 pounds of pot.
