East Texas Organized Crime Defense Lawyers

Defending your rights against organized crime charges in East Texas

When a group of people works together to commit a criminal offense, the authorities often file multiple charges, including engaging in organized criminal activity (EOCA). If you are facing such a charge – or an investigation could lead to EOCA allegations – you need immediate legal counsel. It is critical to speak with an experienced defense lawyer prepared to represent you in federal or state court. Recognize that:

• If you are accused of participating in any type of criminal conspiracy, conviction could mean a longer jail or prison sentence and other consequences far more serious than if you acted alone.
• You don’t have to be a member of an infamous gang to be charged with organized crime in Texas.
• You don’t even have to know the other people accused of your crimes to be charged with this offense.
• Many investigations into criminal conspiracies lead to federal felony charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) and other U.S. statutes.
