In Re State of Texas for the Best Interest and Protection of E. E‪.‬

E.E. was found in her home dehydrated and fasting; she offered her reasons for refusing to eat or drink were due to her having heard the voice of Jesus telling her not to eat. The evidence included testimony that she had been taken to the emergency room, that she had a "pelvic mass," had refused to eat or drink adequate amounts while hospitalized, and had refused to take either previous medications prescribed for her mental condition or antibiotics which had also been prescribed. The evidence presented at the hearings before the County Court at Law for Cherokee County resulted in an order temporarily committing E.E. for mental health services and another order to administer psychoactive medications during the course of her commitment.
