POSS CS PG1/1B <1G DFZ IAT 481.115
Possession of Controlled Substance PG1/1B under 1 g Dfz 481.115 in Texas: what bail is set at, how often a personal bond is granted, and what usually happens to the charge.
What “POSS CS PG1/1B <1G DFZ IAT 481.115” means
This charge pairs Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.115(b) — knowing or intentional possession of less than one gram, aggregate weight including adulterants and dilutants, of a Penalty Group 1 or Penalty Group 1-B controlled substance — with the drug-free-zone enhancement in Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.134(d). Under that provision, an offense otherwise punishable under § 481.115(b) is a third-degree felony rather than a state jail felony if it is shown at trial that it was committed in, on, or within 1,000 feet of real property owned, rented, or leased to a school or school board, the premises of a public or private youth center, or a playground, or within 300 feet of the premises of a public swimming pool or video arcade facility. The State must prove the location fact in addition to the possession elements; "DFZ" in the court label stands for drug-free zone.
| Charged as | Share of bail records | Possible confinement | Fine | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Third-degree felony | 100% | 2 to 10 years in prison (TDCJ) | Fine up to $10,000 | Penal Code § 12.34 |
Ranges are the statutory maximums for the level; enhancements, prior convictions and plea agreements change what is actually imposed.
