You'll find the form in the Texas statutes. It can be handwritten, but requires a notary. http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/statutes.html Go to this link and the form can be found there.

Don't handwrite it. I can't see anyone honoring a handwritten one. You can pick one up from a law office for a few dollars. I would check with your friend's criminal attorney, as many of them will handle getting POAs for a small fee.
