Rent v. State

1 Citing case

  1. Shike v. State

    961 S.W.2d 344 (Tex. App. 1998)   Cited 2 times
    Recognizing that the Health and Safety Code distinguishes between "emergency detentions" and "court-ordered mental health services"

    Further, additional evidence supports the jury's finding that complainant was "committed": the medical discharge summary states, "Patient was committed by Husband," and appellant himself testified that he "committed" complainant. This case is more like Rent v. State, 949 S.W.2d 418 (Tex.App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 1997, no pet. h.) where our sister court held the evidence was sufficient to prove the "commitment" element of the offense of unwarranted mental health commitment. 949 S.W.2d at 419-20.
