What is the legal process to get a detained mentally ill sister out of texas state hospital and get treatment close to family

5 views 3 answers
My sister is disabled and mentally ill and was detained when brought to the ER. She used to work a few months ago but now she is out of work and is without a health insurance. As a result she is getting treated at a Texas state hospital. I would like to take her to Massachusetts and get her care there where there is more family support? How should I go about this?

In Texas Guardianships are handled by the Probate and Probate Attorneys.
