POSS CS PG 2 1G-4G on Texas arrest paperwork, a bond sheet, or a court docket means: Possession of a Controlled Substance, Penalty Group 2, one to four grams, charged under Texas Health & Safety Code § 481.116(c).
Charge level: Third-degree felony
Punishment range: 2 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000
What substances are covered
Penalty Group 2 includes MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, PCP, and THC concentrates (vapes, wax, edibles).
What this charge really means
Edibles are the trap in this bracket: Texas weighs the entire product — the whole gummy or brownie, not the THC content — so a single package of edibles can easily exceed 4 grams and jump to the next bracket. Weight methodology is a genuine defense battleground in PG 2 cases.
Common questions
How is THC edible weight calculated?
Texas weighs the entire mixture — the whole edible, not the THC inside it. That methodology can be challenged, and it often determines which felony bracket applies.
What is the sentence for POSS CS PG 2 1-4 grams?
2 to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine as a third-degree felony, with probation and deferred adjudication available in many cases.
Can a PG 2 felony be reduced?
Yes — through suppression challenges, lab and weight challenges, and negotiation. Outcomes range from dismissal and diversion to reduced charges.
