L. S. v. State Texas

L. S. appeals an order extending his involuntary commitment at the Austin State Hospital. Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. ? 574.066 (West 1992). After a jury trial, the probate court ordered L. S. committed to the Austin State Hospital for a period not to exceed twelve months. L. S. challenges the legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jurys affirmative findings required for renewal of commitment and argues that the court did not specify the basis for its renewal. L. S. also argues that the trial court erred in determining that Austin State Hospital was the least restrictive available alternative setting for his mental health treatment. We will affirm.
