Re: pill addication

You should consult an attorney regarding setting up a guardianship over your mother. Also, you can check with the Texas Department of State Health Services (http://www.dshs.state.tx.us)

and the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (http://www.dshs.state.tx.us)

to see what services are available to help.
