Description
In these two accelerated appeals, appellant, J.M, raises three issues challenging the trial courts separate orders (1) that J.M. be involuntarily committed for temporary inpatient mental health services and (2) that she be administered psychoactive medications. J.M. contends that the evidence presented by the State at her commitment hearing is legally and factually insufficient to support the findings on which the order for temporary inpatient treatment is based. Concomitantly, J.M. also contends that the trial courts order to administer psychoactive medication must be reversed because such an order cannot stand unless a proper order for inpatient mental health services is also in place.
