Relating to designating certain substances as Schedule IV controlled substances under the Texas Controlled Substances Act.

HB 148 reclassifies carisoprodol (a muscle relaxant), mifepristone, and misoprostol as Schedule IV controlled substances under Texas law. This change would affect law enforcement and courts handling drug offenses involving these substances after January 1, 2026. The bill amends the Texas Health and Safety Code to add these specific medications to Schedule IV, which generally applies to substances with lower abuse potential than higher schedules. The law applies only to offenses committed on or after the effective date, not to past actions.
