K.L.M. v. State Texas State

This is an involuntary mental health commitment case. The trial court found K. L. M. to be mentally ill. The court further found that K. L. M., as a result of her mental illness, will, if not treated, continue to suffer severe and abnormal mental, emotional or physical distress and will continue to experience deterioration of her ability to function independently. The court also found that as a result of her mental illness, K. L. M. is unable to make a rational and informed decision as to whether to submit to treatment. See TEX. REV. CIV. STAT. ANN. art. 5547-50(b)(2)(iii) (Vernon Supp. 1987).
