POSS CS PG 1 4G-200G on Texas arrest paperwork, a bond sheet, or a court docket means: Possession of a Controlled Substance, Penalty Group 1, four to 200 grams, charged under Texas Health & Safety Code § 481.115(d).
Charge level: Second-degree felony
Punishment range: 2 to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000

What this charge really means
At this weight the state frequently considers possession-with-intent-to-deliver upgrades based on packaging, scales, cash, or phone messages. Fighting the intent allegation — and the legality of the search that produced the evidence — is often the core of the defense.
Common questions
Is 4-200 grams of a PG 1 drug automatically dealing?
No. Possession and manufacture/delivery are separate charges. The state needs evidence of intent to deliver — packaging, scales, communications — not just weight. An experienced attorney attacks that inference.
What is the sentence range for POSS CS PG 1 4-200G?
2 to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine as a second-degree felony.
Can the search be challenged?
Frequently, yes. Larger-weight cases usually start with a vehicle or home search — if the stop, warrant, or consent was defective, the evidence can be suppressed.
