Description
On original submission, this court determined that Earl Bruce Rolands due process rights were violated when the trial court held a hearing on the States application for extended mental health services after the previous commitment order had expired. See Roland v. State, 951 S.W.2d 169 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth, 1997) reversed 973 S.W.2d 665 (Tex. 1998). We therefore reversed the trial courts judgment. On the States application for writ of error, the supreme court held that, although a timely hearing is mandatory, Roland is not entitled to automatic release. Therefore, that court reversed this courts judgment and remanded to us for consideration of Rolands remaining points. In his two remaining points, Roland contends that there is no evidence or factually insufficient evidence to sustain the trial courts commitment order. Because we determine that sufficient evidence supports his continued commitment, we overrule Rolands remaining points and affirm the trial courts judgment.
