In Re J.J.

OPINION

CORNELIUS, Chief Justice.

J.J. appeals from a court order requiring him to undergo temporary mental health treatment at the Terrell State Hospital. He contends that the order is void because the State did not file with the court at least two certificates of medical examination for mental illness as required by law.
