26 Tex. Admin. Code § 967.79 - Administration of Psychotropic Medication during a Medication-Related Emergency
(a) A facility may administer psychotropic
medication to an individual who is having a medication-related emergency
without consent, authorization, or a court order.
(b) If psychotropic medication is
administered in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, a physician
must:
(1) issue an order to administer the
psychotropic medication in a manner that is consistent with clinically
appropriate medical care and that is the least restrictive of the individual's
personal liberty; and
(2) document
in the individual's active record, in specific medical or behavioral terms, the
necessity of the order and that the physician has evaluated but rejected other
generally accepted, less intrusive forms of treatment, if
any.
