(a) To be eligible to participate in an OCR program,
a court must order an individual's participation after determining
that an appropriate OCR program is available for the individual and
determining that the individual:
(1) is incompetent to stand trial;
(2) is not a danger to others;
(3) may be safely treated on an outpatient basis with
the specific objective to attain competency; and
(4) is charged with an offense eligible for OCR pursuant
to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 46B.
(b) An individual is ineligible to receive OCR services
if a court determines the individual is unlikely to restore to competency
in the foreseeable future.
