On January 9, 1990, appellants son filed an Application for Temporary Mental Health Services pursuant to the Texas Mental Health Code seeking commitment of his mother, P.W. See TEX. REV. CIV. STAT. ANN. art. 5547-32 (Vernon Supp. 1990). Appellant was represented by counsel and trial was held before a jury. A judgment was entered on January 24, 1990, indicating a unanimous verdict finding that appellant is mentally ill, and as a result of that mental illness appellant is: (a) likely to cause serious harm to herself; (b) likely to cause serious harm to others; and (c) 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 and is unable to make a rational and informed decision as to whether or not to submit to treatment. The trial court ordered appellant to be committed as an in-patient for observation and/or treatment for a period not to exceed ninety days from January 24, 1990.
