26 Tex. Admin. Code § 967.35 - Imminent Harm Resulting from a Medical or Dental Procedure
(a) Only a PCP, dentist, or psychiatrist may
order a medical restraint. Medical restraint orders must include a specific
start and stop date or time. If the time limit on the original order is
exceeded, the PCP must write a new order.
(b) Only staff who have successfully
completed competency-based training on the use of restraints may implement
restraint procedures. Staff who implement restraint procedures must also
complete training on person-specific instructions and other measures regarding
restraints contained in an individual's medical restraint plan or other
plan.
(c) If restraint is used
before or during intervention for routine medical or dental care, a medical
restraint plan must be developed to describe the rationale for use of the
restraint and to provide specific individualized instructions on how to safely
implement the restraint.
