Court of Appeals of Texas, Tyler.

January 31, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dana Norris Young, for appellant

Rachel L. Patton, Gordon K. Lemaire, for appellee.

Panel consisted of WORTHEN, C.J., GRIFFITH, J., and HOYLE, J.


OPINION

BRIAN HOYLE, Justice.

D.B. appeals from an order authorizing the administration of psychoactive medication-forensic. In his sole issue, D.B. argues that the trial court erred in granting the order based upon the United States Supreme Court's opinion in Sell v. United States, 539 U.S. 166, 123 S.Ct. 2174, 156 L.Ed.2d 197 (2003). We reverse and render.
