SPECIAL ABOUT AIDS
AUSTIN (AP) — An Austin state
appeals court judge who was repri
manded by the State Commission on
Judicial Conduct and lost in the
Democratic primary election has re
signed his seat.
Justice Jim Brady of the 3rd
Court of Appeals said in his resigna
tion letter to Gov. Bill Clements that
he is quitting “to pursue the private
practice of law and support urgently
needed improvements to the condi
tion of our Texas judicial system.”
Brady, 68, was defeated in the
March 8 Democratic primary by
Austin lawyer Woodie Jones, who is
unopposed in the November general
election. Brady’s resignation is effec
tive Aug. 31.
James Huffines, the governor’s
appointment secretary, said Tues
day his office probably would not
consider appointing a successor until
mid-August because it already has
other judicial vacancies to fill.
Brady’s term expires at the end of
the year.
Brady was reprimanded in Jan
uary for issuing a press release last
year touting a court opinion he
wrote in a libel case involving the
Wall Street Journal.
He appealed the reprimand to a
special court of review, which held a
hearing but has not yet handed
down a ruling.
In his resignation letter, Brady
asked Clements “to join with me and
others in an all-out effort to seek leg
islative approval to bring judicial sal
aries in line with the private sector.”

Rational sysi
Plaintiffs applaud decision
on discharged mentally ill
DALLAS (AP) — A federal judge Tuesday ordered
state mental health officials to revise criteria for serving
discharged mental patients who need continuing care,
saying shortcomings in current standards make compli
ance difficult to determine.
U.S. District Judge Barefoot Sanders also ordered a
new study of whether discharged patients are receiving
adequate services.
Plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed over conditions in state
hospitals hailed the decision as an indication the state
will be required to expand services for discharged pa
tients.
“Without adequate community support, persons with
mental illness may not be expected to find employment
and access local services. Simply put, hospitals may not
boot out patients, but now must respond with a helping
hand,” said Randall Chapman, lead counsel for the
mentally ill patients in the lawsuit against the state.
A settlement agreement has been signed in the case.
Sanders said he could not decide whether the Texas
Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation
had substantially complied with established criteria for
assessing the adequacy of community-based services for
discharged mental patients because of “shortcomings in
the formulation of the standards.”
However, Sanders said a study by independent con
sultants that showed 56 percent of cases studied met the
criteria, also raised concerns that “lead the court to con
clude that the state of Texas has not demonstrated that
it is providing quality aftercare to those in need.”
The public information office and legal division at
the MHMR Department had no immediate comment
on the ruling.
The criteria required community-based mental
health authorities to make a good faith effort to offer
services specified in an aftercare plan, make follow-up
appointments for clients, document outreach efforts,
provide social workers for clients who qualify and ar
range for nonclinical support for patients who need it.
Nonclinical support includes food and shelter.
Sanders ordered the following actions;
— A review of services provided to clients, in cases
where the consultants found the services did not meet
state criteria. The consultants, Howard Goldman and
Anne Mathews-Younes, studied 487 patient records
from a population of 26,000 patients discharged from
the eight Texas state hospitals between January 1986
and March 1987.
Sanders said the purpose of the review is to indicate
whether additional services and outreach are needed,
examine why services did not meet all the criteria and
take corrective action.
— Clarification of the five criteria to include the un
derstanding that patients receive services as long as a
treatment team clinically determines the services are
needed.
— The MHMR Department seek the appropriate
funding level in its 1990-91 legislative budget request to
meet obligations under existing court orders. Sanders
also asked that the department submit an analysis of the
budgeJhrequest, illustrating how requirements of the set
tlement agreement and court orders will be funded.
— Documentation of outreach efforts made specif
ically in the effort to extend services to hard-to-reach
clients, defined as those who have missed one or more
“significant service contacts” in the 90 days after dis
charge or furlough from a state hospital. Such contacts
include doctor appointments and appointments with
social workers.
Sanders said the first two criteria — availability of
specified services and follow-up appointments—should
be provided to all discharged patients. The other crite
ria should be provided to patients according to their
needs, he said.
— A new evaluation to determine whether the five
criteria, with changes ordered by the judge, are being
adequately implemented by community-based mental
health authorities. The evaluation should be made after
the department has had a reasonable opportunity to re
view its past performance and implement the changes,
Sanders said.
The judge noted that a special court monitoring
panel has called for revising the department’s criteria
for social worker services, so that they are based on the
need for services and on the severity of client condition,
rather than only on how chronic the mental illness is.
Sanders said the panel should negotiate changes in the
department’s current eligibility criteria with new
MHMR Commissioner Dennis Jones and submit an
agreement or make further recommendations to him
on that issue.
