Marijuana consumption isn’t as simple as using a pipe anymore. Many cannabis users have turned to the use of THC concentrates rather than the standard plant. This is because marijuana concentrates are made from cannabis resin, making a more intense high.
While concentrates are becoming more prevalent through growing trends such as “vaping” or “dabbing,” Texas still considers cannabis to be a controlled substance. You could face serious penalties for possessing or selling THC concentrates such as expensive fines and prison time. If you or someone you know has been charged with possessing or delivering THC concentrates, it’s imperative you seek trusted legal representation.
THC concentrates are becoming more popular every day among marijuana users. However, Texas law still prosecutes people possessing or trafficking THC concentrates. If you or someone you know has been charged with a crime related to THC concentrates, it’s imperative you seek legal counsel.

Overview of THC Concentrates in Texas
Marijuana concentrates are made by processing resin which collects on the plant’s flowers. This resin is pressed into oils or other various substances through chemicals such as CO2 or butane. What separates THC concentrates from traditional marijuana is the intensity of the high.
Marijuana resin is incredibly potent with a cannabinoid called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is known for creating a light hallucinogenic feeling in users. This means THC concentrates tend to have stronger effects than its plant counterpart.
Another unique aspect of THC concentrate is how versatile they are. THC concentrates can be made into a variety of forms including oils, wax or budder. All of these can be smoked in various ways to create a different effect. Some even sprinkle marijuana oils in their cooking or food.
Although THC concentrates is made from cannabis, Texas law doesn’t consider it to be marijuana. Texas Penal Code § 481.002(26) states the stems, resin, stalks of the marijuana plant aren’t considered a part of the cannabis sativa family. The law instead categorizes THC concentrates as a penalty group 2 drug, which means enhanced penalties if you’re convicted.
What sets THC concentrates a part is their versatility. The following are some common forms of THC concentrates.
Texas defines THC concentrates as a Penalty Group 2 drug rather than marijuana. Because of this, the penalties for possessing marijuana concentrates are enhanced. The chart below lists the consequences for possessing THC concentrates in the state of Texas.

Robert HendersonDecember 22, 2023.I want to give a special thanks to Tyler Flood & Associates. Getting charged with a dwi was the worst feeling and situation I've been in, but the professionalism and confidence that Tyler Fllod & Associates showed throughout my case definitely helped me get some sleep at night. Then when they called and let me know that my case was dismissed and all charges dropped was incredible. Once again, thanks to Tyler Flood & Associates.
Zeta ZeDecember 15, 2023.Houston DWI/DUI Tyler Flood is the best lawyer to represent you in a DWI/DUI case. Mr. Flood saved my license from being suspended in a non-refusal weekend. In a case, where I feel I did everything wrong and had 0 chance, in my opinion, for a dismissal, my only hope and chance was to hire Mr. Flood and his firm. Having had previous experience with Mr. Flood's firm, I felt that if I had any percentage chance of a dismissal, I had to go with Mr. Flood again. As I am writing this review, I'm still in shock and awe in how Mr. Flood was able to get a dismissal before trial completely started. Mr. Flood knew the law better than the arresting officer and Prosecutors. Even the judge was impressed and paid him a compliment after the dismissal. In my opinion, if you want a fighting chance, hire Mr. Flood and his firm. Mr. Flood genuinely cares about all his clients and does not merely see you as a customer. He and his team are always working on your case. Trust his process. They are absolutely the BEST.
briana MunozDecember 5, 2023.Thanks to Tyler Flood I am able to continue my life, him and his partners were amazing in guiding me throughout this hard process. Tyler and his team got me a CASE DISMISSED on my DWI case. His team kept in contact with me on every small detail about my case while being able to thoroughly explain every possibility for me. I also never had to step foot in a courtroom! Him and his team had my back every step of the way and never made me feel like it was not going to be okay. Tyler flood is the BEST DWI/DUI attorney no doubt, please consider letting him take your case if you are ever in need of an amazing lawyer.
A DOctober 19, 2023.When I found myself in a precarious situation and didn’t know where or who to turn to I was recommended to Tyler Flood and Associates. After researching and reading many reviews I decided to hire and retain Flood and Associates services. This was one of the best decisions I made in my life, not only were they there for me in every dim moment and never too busy to answer every question I had whether it was frivolous or not, his expertise was demonstrated to me during my trial. So much so that two other defendants asked for his name and number during my trial. He fought tooth-and-nail for me and he will for you too. I’m only rating him five stars because I can’t rate him any higher. I’ll thank him for the rest of my life.
DylanOctober 12, 2023.Houston DWI/DUI Attorney Tyler Flood is the best in the business! Tyler and his team made the entire process stress free for what is a very stressful situation. From winning the first administrative hearing (to retain my license/avoid a breathalyzer) to getting the dismissal before trial even started. He is truly the best in the business!
Cesar RicardezOctober 3, 2023.I hired Tyler Flood the day after my DUI arrest after reading glowing reviews about him and I couldn’t be happier that I did so. He took care of both my cases to keep my driving rights and the misdemeanor DUI charge in court. I never even had to appear in court or do anything, him and his team took care of anything while I carried on with my life and would just get updates whenever they appeared in court on my behalf. At the end, my driver license was never suspended and they got my case dismissed. Lesson learned, I don’t wish anyone to get in my situation but if you do, don’t hesitate to hire Tyler Flood and his team, they are extremely professional and they go for the win. No deal, no probation, got it all dismissed.
M JSeptember 14, 2023.Tyler Flood, Houston DWI/DUI attorney is fantastic! He is professional, smart and takes pride in getting the best possible outcome for you. This was my second DWI and I didn't want to take chances. I found him on Google and I too was in disbelief with all the 5.0 star reviews. Upon meeting him I quickly discovered it was all true. A lawyer with his own science lab WTH??????? Long story short he got my case dismissed without going to court. You can not put a price on freedom. The only downside is I only hope to need his services this one time. 😀 Thanks again Mr. Flood God bless.

Trey PerrettAugust 14, 2023.Words cannot express what a dominating lawyer Tyler Flood and his team are. I ran into some trouble in 2021 and I was just getting my family, career ,and life together. I was completely scared of what the repercussions could be for the rest of my life. I asked civil layers who they recommend and repeatedly Tyler Flood’s name was given to me. At my first appointment, I was overcome with anxiety of what will happen next. Tyler put me at ease immediately. He believed I had a case. They were great on response time and helping me navigate the often confusing legal system. It’s a long process to have a case brought to trial but I knew I had an amazing lawyer and his team in my corner. Finally, I received the call that my case was dismissed, and I was cleared of all charges. I could not be happier with the way he and his colleagues handled my case and brought home the W. I strongly recommend having Tyler Flood in your corner because he delivers.
