“MAN DEL CS PG 1-B >=1G<4G” stands for Manufacture Delivery Controlled Substance Penalty Group 1-B at least 1 g under 4 g under Texas HSC § 481.1123(c).
Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.1123 governs manufacture or delivery of a substance in Penalty Group 1-B, the fentanyl-specific penalty group the Legislature created effective September 1, 2023. Penalty Group 1-B, listed in Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.1022, consists of fentanyl, alpha-methylfentanyl, and other derivatives of fentanyl. A person commits the offense by knowingly manufacturing, delivering, or possessing with intent to deliver a Penalty Group 1-B substance, except as authorized by the Texas Controlled Substances Act; delivery includes actual transfer, constructive transfer, and offers to sell. Grading turns on aggregate weight, including any adulterants and dilutants, so the entire mixture containing fentanyl counts. This variant, subsection (c), applies when the amount is one gram or more but less than four grams. Before September 2023, comparable conduct was charged as a Penalty Group 1 offense.
