What “MAN/DEL CS PG 2 OR 2-A >= 1G < 4G” means

Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.113(c) covers knowingly manufacturing, delivering, or possessing with intent to deliver a controlled substance listed in Penalty Group 2 or Penalty Group 2-A, in an aggregate weight, including adulterants or dilutants, of one gram or more but less than four grams. Penalty Group 2 consists largely of hallucinogenic and psychedelic drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy), psilocybin, and mescaline, along with tetrahydrocannabinol in forms other than the marihuana plant; Penalty Group 2-A consists of synthetic cannabinoids, often sold as "K2" or "Spice." Delivery means an actual or constructive transfer to another person and includes an offer to sell. The one-to-four-gram weight range is the element that makes this a second-degree felony, distinguishing it from subsection (b), which applies below one gram, and subsection (d), which begins at four grams.
