Texas Health & Administrative Code Section 481.103 (d) excludes drugs listed in both the statute and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approval list. If you have been charged with a crime after September 1, 2015 your case may fall into this category. Many prosecutors and defense attorneys are unaware of the change. Our Houston drug attorneys are aware and will pursue all legal remedies.
