defendant has not been restored to competency under this
subchapter, a subsequent request or motion for a redetermination of
competency filed before the 91st day after the date of that
determination must:
(1) explain why the person making the request or motion
believes another inquiry into restoration is appropriate; and

defendant's condition has materially changed since the prior
determination that the defendant was not restored to competency.
(c) If the competency determination will be made by the
court, the court may conduct the hearing at the facility to which
the defendant has been committed under this chapter or may conduct
