About The Stop Drugs Corpus Christi Website
This website creates an important partnership between the general public and
law enforcement.
Almost all illegal supply,
distribution, and sale of illegal narcotics is supported by one or more
criminal organizations. While you may only be aware of an individual or a
small group of individuals who participate in the sale of illegal narcotics,
the illegal product is supplied and distributed by a larger criminal network. This
multijurisdictional website, supported by local, state, and federal agencies,
allows the public to submit anonymous drug crime tips and wanted drug fugitive
tips within the Houston HIDTA territory including Harris, Fort Bend,
Galveston, Montgomery, Jefferson, Walker, Nueces, Wharton, and Victoria
counties.

Why We Need Your Help… The Houston HIDTA is a major corridor for drug trafficking activities. The drug threat in the region is immense and an “all hands on deck” approach is needed to combat this significant problem. Submit your tip today! Houston is a pivotal point for the importation and exportation of a wide variety of drug types. Noted with red arrows, illicit drugs such as methamphetamine, cocaine, low-grade marijuana, heroin, fentanyl, and fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills are transported in bulk quantities into the Houston area from Mexico through South Texas. Once arriving in the Houston area, these large drug loads are broken down into smaller quantities and delivered to locations throughout the nation. Noted with purple arrows, Mexico-based cartels obtain precursor chemicals primarily from China for the fentanyl and methamphetamine they produce. Although Mexico is the main source for fentanyl entering the United States, fentanyl and other synthetic opioids also arrive via mail shipments originating from source countries such as China though to a lesser extent than in the past. Noted with green arrows, domestically-produced high-grade marijuana, marijuana concentrates (THC wax and oil) and THC edibles are diverted from a growing number of states that have legalized marijuana into counties in the Houston Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) to meet the very high level of demand for these potent marijuana-based products.
