What “DEL MARJ 1/4OZ<5LB DFZ IAT 481.120” means
Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.134, the drug-free zone statute, raises the grade of certain drug offenses committed in protected locations. This charge combines delivery of marihuana in an amount over one-fourth ounce but not more than five pounds — ordinarily a state jail felony under Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.120(b)(3) — with the zone finding described by § 481.134(d). The State must prove the underlying delivery, meaning a knowing or intentional actual or constructive transfer of marihuana, including an offer to sell, and additionally that the offense was committed in, on, or within 1,000 feet of real property owned, rented, or leased to a school or school board, or the premises of a public or private youth center, or on a school bus. The zone finding elevates the offense to a third-degree felony; the courthouse abbreviation 'DFZ IAT' means drug-free zone, if shown at trial.
| Charged as | Possible confinement | Fine | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third-degree felony | 2 to 10 years in prison (TDCJ) | Fine up to $10,000 | Penal Code § 12.34 |
