Sample questions
Tex. Health & Safety Code §481.102 — Penalty Group 1 includes:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, ketamine, oxycodone, hydrocodone (in higher concentrations), and most opioids (correct)
- Anabolic steroids only
- LSD only
Why: PG 1 is the most heavily punished group, containing cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and most opioids.
Tex. Health & Safety Code §481.102
Tex. Health & Safety Code §483 covers 'dangerous drugs' — generally:
- Anabolic steroids only
- Prescription drugs not in PG 1-4 (e.g., antibiotics, blood pressure meds, certain non-controlled prescription drugs); possession without a prescription is a Class A misdemeanor (correct)
- Marijuana
- Tobacco
Why: Dangerous drugs are prescription drugs NOT in the controlled-substance penalty groups. Possession without a prescription is a Class A misdemeanor (§483.041). Often charged when officers find prescription drugs in pill bottles other than the pharmacy bottle issued to the holder.
Tex. Health & Safety Code ch. 483
Delivery of a controlled substance causing death (HSC §481.141 'death of person from controlled substance') triggers:
- No special enhancement
- Enhanced penalty range — minimum confinement raised to 99 years or life with possibility of $250,000 fine for certain delivery / manufacturing offenses where the controlled substance contributed to death (correct)
- Capital felony
- Class A misdemeanor
Why: Where delivery of a controlled substance contributed to a death, §481.141 enhances the punishment to a sentence of life or any term of not more than 99 nor less than 15 years. Often used for fentanyl deaths.
