I am familar with some with texas law on Rights of mentally ill. I was removed from my redsidance by police. I had had a fit 30 min before, when Police arrived I was calm and collect . They handcuffed me anyway, and took me to the Hospital for an eval... When I arrived, I was still calm. They forced me to take meds. Big no no. I have the right to refuse treatment. When doing so the officer brused me pretty badly taking me to the floor. Choking me as well. I was still calm later and they still sent me to a psych hospital. I will attach two laws that apply to me. Is there anything I can do civilly? TX Statute H&S Code 573.001 says I have to be a danger to others and there is no time for a warrant to be issued. The dda 2000 says I have the right to be in my least restrictive environment, also services must be free of ABUSE, which none of this was as law. What can I do,
