Temperary guardianship of elderly parent

[sooners ex 1]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

My question concerns my 71 year old mother who currently takes over 15 perscriptions inculuding 1 narcodic perscription taken 2 -3times per day with some alcohol abuse while driving

If i was to seek an emergency court orderd mental health evaluation of my mother could i also seek temperary coustody of her legal affairs if she is placed in a mental facility during a evaluation? and can my other family members who live out of town who do not deal with my mothers issues or witness them stop the evalutaion ?

Any information thay you can offer would be greatful

Thank You

Alcoholism does not show mental disability or the inability to care for oneself (according to legal definitions at least).

What exactly are you trying to do? Is Mom incapacitated? If she has prescriptions for those drugs what exactly is the problem?
