MAN DEL CS PG 1 1G-4G on Texas arrest paperwork, a bond sheet, or a court docket means: Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance, Penalty Group 1, one to four grams, charged under Texas Health & Safety Code § 481.112(c).
Charge level: Second-degree felony
Punishment range: 2 to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000

Penalty Group 1 includes cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and similar substances.
What this charge really means
Delivery charges jump two levels above possession at the same weight — 1-4 grams is a third-degree felony for possession but second-degree for delivery. That gap is why fighting the delivery element (or negotiating down to possession) is usually the highest-value defense move.
