46B.084 - what if miss deadline Login/Join 
Member
posted
My defendant was committed to restore competency. He was found competent and bench warranted back to our jail. 46B.084 says that the Court must make a finding that he is competent (unless defense objects to report) within 20 days from when the Court gets notice of the report, or within 5 days from when the defendant is returned to court.

The court never made any findings and we have already missed these deadlines by a couple weeks. Can the Court just make the findings now? Backdate the order? Do we have to start over with a new competency eval?
