MAN DEL CS PG 1-B >=400G
Manufacture Delivery Controlled Substance Penalty Group 1-B at least 400 g in Texas: what bail is set at, how often a personal bond is granted, and what usually happens to the charge.
What “MAN DEL CS PG 1-B >=400G” means
Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.1123(f) requires the State to prove that a person knowingly manufactured, delivered, or possessed with intent to deliver a controlled substance listed in Penalty Group 1-B, and that the aggregate weight of the substance, including any adulterants or dilutants, was 400 grams or more. Penalty Group 1-B, created effective September 1, 2023, consists of fentanyl, alpha-methylfentanyl, and other derivatives of fentanyl, which the Legislature separated out of Penalty Group 1. "Deliver" means to transfer a controlled substance to another person, actually or constructively, and includes offering to sell it; "manufacture" covers producing, preparing, compounding, converting, processing, or packaging the substance. The 400-gram floor is the statute's highest weight bracket, distinguishing this first-degree felony variant from subsections (b) through (e), which govern smaller quantities.
Also appears on court records as:
| Charged as | Share of bail records | Possible confinement | Fine | Source |

| First-degree felony | 100% | 5 to 99 years or life in prison (TDCJ) | Fine up to $10,000 | Penal Code § 12.32 |
Ranges are the statutory maximums for the level; enhancements, prior convictions and plea agreements change what is actually imposed.
