Billy Ray Robinson Jr., Methamphetamine Trafficking, Texas 2025

Beaumont, Texas – A Buna man has been sentenced to federal prison for drug trafficking violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs.

Billy Ray Robinson, Jr., 42, pleaded guilty to distribution and possession of more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and was sentenced to 210 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone on September 10, 2025.

According to information presented in court, in July 2024, law enforcement received information that Robinson was hiding methamphetamine on property near his residence in Jasper County. That information led to the seizure of over 2,000 grams of methamphetamine hidden on the property.

At the time, Robinson was on federal supervised release after having served time in federal prison for a 2015 conviction for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. As a result, Robinson’s supervised release term will be revoked, and he will be sentenced to serve an additional term of imprisonment to run consecutively to today’s sentence.

This case was investigated by the Texas Department of Public Safety – Criminal Investigations Division and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren Gaston.

The guilty plea and sentence were announced by Acting U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs.

Billy Ray Robinson Jr. is expected to serve 210 months in federal prison, followed by an additional term of imprisonment for violating his supervised release.
