With marijuana becoming legal in more and more parts of the country, there can be a lot of questions about how exactly it is allowed to be possessed. Even within the same state, different cities and counties can have vastly different policies on how to handle marijuana possession. We are going to share with you what to expect if you or a loved one is caught with marijuana in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.

Well, the short answer is that the possession and usage of marijuana is still very much illegal in the state of Texas, but some forms of cannabis have become legal to possess and use. Minimal level THC is allowed to be possessed, specifically in the form of oil. This low concentration THC is also known as hemp. CBD products containing 0.3% or less of THC also fall into the category of hemp derived substances, so they too are considered legal all over the state.

Jail time can affect your work in a couple of different ways. One way is if you are unexpectedly jailed, you could miss a shift or important meeting, causing your boss and coworkers confusion and distrust in your reliability. Some jobs have very strict policies on no-call/no-shows, and when you are in jail, you will not get the opportunity to call up your employer to explain yourself or find a replacement for a shift.
In times of distress, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and lost. This is especially true when jail time is involved. The rush to find and free your loved one can often be confusing, daunting even, and it might lead you in a never-ending circle, but Dallas area residents are in luck! Doc's Bail Bonds goes out of our way to make this process less stressful and more direct, no matter where you are in the DFW area.

When you hire someone for any job you are hopeful that they are reliable and good at what they do. This is especially true when they are responsible for bailing you out of jail. When quickly looking for bail bonds, it is easy to fall for a company that promises high quality business even when they are not capable of it. We are going to share with you four signs that a bail bond agent is reputable, trustworthy and ready to work for you. And who shows all of these signs? Of course, Doc's Bail Bonds.
You get what you pay for, simple as that. When researching bail bond companies, it is important to see that they are promising more than to save you a buck. If a bondsman is only interested in the money and not the emotional and long-term logistics of your situation, they most likely do not have your best interest at heart. At the end of the day, jail time is a serious matter, and it has way more repercussions than the financial ones. Quality should be key.
As 2019 draws to a close and people all across the DFW Metroplex prepare to celebrate the dawning of a new year, you can bet police will be on high alert for anyone driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Sometimes they set up roadblocks where drivers must submit to a sobriety test, and failure means a quick trip to jail. Is this legal? What should you do if you run into a DUI checkpoint this holiday season? Doc's Bail Bonds has the answers. We'll also bail you out 24/7 if you get hit with a drunk driving charge.
That's a gray area. While the Texas government has not specifically approved DUI checkpoints, they get treated like legal roadblocks for all intents and purposes. Opponents claim they violate a driver's right to protection from unreasonable search because everyone on the road gets pulled over and questioned, even if the officers had no probable cause to detain them. You are within your legal rights to refuse a field sobriety test or breathalyzer, but such a refusal can lead to criminal charges.
