The court may set the hearing on its own motion, on the motion of a municipal, county, or district attorney at the request of the health authority, on the motion of the attorney general at the request of the department, or at the request of any other interested person.
(b) The court shall appoint an attorney to represent the person if a hearing is scheduled. The person shall be given notice of the matters to be considered at the hearing. The notice must comply with the requirements of Section 81.155 for notice before a hearing on an application for court orders for the management of a person with a communicable disease.
(c) The hearing shall be held before the court, without a jury, and as prescribed by this chapter. The person shall be represented by an attorney and receive proper notice.
