Looks like T.T. isn't going to go
quietly. An HIV-infected woman has filed court documents denying claims in a civil lawsuit seeking to force her into treatment.
The city of Amarillo filed a civil suit last month in 47th District Court against the unidentified woman. State health officials think the legal action is the first of its kind in Texas.
In a court document filed Wednesday, the woman, identified only as T.T., denies all claims in an application for extended court-ordered management and asks a court to deny the application. The application asks a judge to place her in a residential drug treatment program for up to a year.
Where does an HIV positive crack-whore find an attorney? Is that what's referred to as "pro-boner" (or is it pro-bono) work?
This story is going to be a movie of the week in about six months.
