Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorce & Conservatorship when MI is involved

Can a spouse obtain a third party as a conservatorship (only over money) for their partner during a divorce. My husband has had MI for 5 years; and for the first time recently is in a extreme manic state - I am trying to protect him so he will have money to last him for years to come vs. spending it all immediately.
