Tex. Code of Crim. Proc. Article 46C.201
Disposition: Nondangerous Conduct


(a)

If the court determines that the offense of which the person was acquitted did not involve conduct that caused serious bodily injury to another person, placed another person in imminent danger of serious bodily injury, or consisted of a threat of serious bodily injury to another person through the use of a deadly weapon, the court shall determine whether there is evidence to support a finding that the person is a person with a mental illness or an intellectual disability.

(b)

If the court determines that there is evidence to support a finding of mental illness or intellectual disability, the court shall enter an order transferring the person to the appropriate court for civil commitment proceedings to determine whether the person should receive court-ordered mental health services under Subtitle C, Title 7, Health and Safety Code, or be committed to a residential care facility to receive intellectual disability services under Subtitle D, Title 7, Health and Safety Code. The court may also order the person:

(1)

detained in jail or any other suitable place pending the prompt initiation and prosecution of appropriate civil proceedings by the attorney representing the state or other person designated by the court; or

(2)

placed in the care of a responsible person on satisfactory security being given for the acquitted person’s proper care and protection.
