Order of Commitment for MR, after 46B Incompentency and not likely to regain competency. Login/Join

Does anyone have or know where I may be able to find an order of commitment for someone with MR. I am after the restoration commitment, they are not likely to regain competence, and I am not dismissing the charges. Therefore as I understand it I need to commit them under Subtitle D of Title 7 Health and Safety Code (MR section).

I have looked in the Mental Defenses book, however the only form is for a commitment under MI (Subtitle C).

Its a shame the legislature could not have been a little clearer and keep one procedure for criminal commitments as opposed to purely civil ones.

I will respond back channel and send you orders, as well as a protocol for the hearing, and any caselaw you may need.
