Texas Penalty Group 4
Texas Penalty Group 4
Penalty Group 4 includes:
- Drugs with limited amounts of narcotics that also contain non-narcotic medicines, such as those containing less than 200 milliliters of codeine per 100 milliliters.
- Drugs containing small amounts of opium.
Some of these drugs are illegal substances while others are prescription medications; however, any possession or delivery of a controlled substance without a legitimate prescription incurs penalties.
