What “MAN/DEL CS PG 2 OR 2-A >= 400G” means
Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.113(e) is the top weight bracket for manufacture or delivery of a Penalty Group 2 or Penalty Group 2-A controlled substance. The State must prove that the person knowingly manufactured, delivered, or possessed with intent to deliver the substance and that the aggregate weight, including any adulterants or dilutants, was 400 grams or more. Penalty Group 2 includes hallucinogens such as MDMA, psilocybin, and mescaline as well as tetrahydrocannabinol products other than plant marihuana, while Penalty Group 2-A covers synthetic cannabinoids. "Manufacture" reaches production, preparation, compounding, conversion, processing, and packaging, and "delivery" includes any actual or constructive transfer along with offers to sell. The 400-gram threshold distinguishes this first-degree felony variant from subsection (d), which covers four grams to under 400 grams.
