I was told that, in Texas, a resident of an assisted living facility could be "immediately" discharged in the event that they presented a threat to harm others at the facility. Not thirty days, eight days, but immediately. Is this accurate? And if so, where is that codified in law?

It makes sense, the facility could lose their license, they have many people that they are responsible for keeping safe. There have been killings by residents of other residents in facilities when not addressed immediately.
Or do you have a relative in a Texas AL facility? Is that your concern?
(3) terminate a contract immediately, after notice to the department, if the provider finds that a resident creates a serious or immediate threat to the health, safety, or welfare of other residents of the assisted living facility;
