    The Texas Health and Safety Code divides Texas Drugs into five penalty groups, plus Marijuana. The punishment range for a drug offense is determined by both the type & quantity of the drug. The charts below list general penalty and punishment ranges and do not take into account potential enhancements (e.g. manufacturing, intent to deliver, school zones, prior convictions, etc).
