Art. 46C.158. CONTINUING JURISDICTION OF DANGEROUS ACQUITTED
PERSON. If the court finds that the offense of which the person was
acquitted involved conduct that caused serious bodily injury to
another person, placed another person in imminent danger of serious
bodily injury, or consisted of a threat of serious bodily injury to
another person through the use of a deadly weapon, the court retains
jurisdiction over the acquitted person until either:
(1) the court discharges the person and terminates its
jurisdiction under Article 46C.268; or
(2) the cumulative total period of institutionalization and
outpatient or community-based treatment and supervision under the
court's jurisdiction equals the maximum term provided by law for
the offense of which the person was acquitted by reason of insanity
and the court's jurisdiction is automatically terminated under
Article 46C.269.
