What Is Health & Safety Code 11378?

HSC 11378 makes it a felony to possess methamphetamine or other stimulants with the intent to sell. Prosecutors use quantity, packaging, scales, cash, and communications to establish intent. This is a more serious charge than simple possession (HSC 11377) and carries significantly higher bail.

Elements of the Charge

  • Possession of methamphetamine or a related stimulant
  • Knowledge of the substance's presence and nature
  • Intent to sell — not just personal use
  • Circumstantial evidence of sale (packaging, scales, large cash amounts)

Typical Bail Amounts for HSC 11378

Charge / ScenarioTypical Bail
First offense, small quantity$20,000 – $35,000
Prior drug convictions$50,000 – $75,000

Organized distribution / gang enhancement$100,000+

After the bond

The bond is just the start. Chad stays with you.

Price matters. But a lot of bail companies are salespeople sitting at a desk. They sell you the bond on the phone that night, and after that you get passed from department to department. With Chad, the same person who writes your bond is the one who picks up when something comes up.

Missed a court date?

Call Chad right away. We help you get back on the court calendar and get it fixed before it gets worse.

Bail raised, or charges added?

We explain what happened and handle the change to the bond.

A real example (name changed)

Fred missed his court date, and he still owed a balance. Chad helped him anyway. He stayed up late with him and put together the paperwork to ask the court to reinstate his bond. On the way to court, Fred's car broke down and got towed, with the paperwork inside. So Chad did it all over again, and Fred came by the office to pick up a new set.

You could roll the dice on whoever quotes the cheapest bond on the phone. Or you could have a bondsman who picks up when it really matters.
