Resolution of Texas Medical Board Complaints Before SOAH

When a medical professional decides to fight a formal complaint against their license—which they should do every time—it can sometimes mean that the complaint process will move beyond the Texas Medical Board's internal procedure. When this happens, the case often goes to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH). Of course, it must be said that the vast majority of cases that actually end with disciplinary action taken by the Texas Medical Board are resolved...

Texas Pharmacists at Risk of Discipline

When a pharmacist receives a notice of formal complaint from the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, there is a natural tendency to feel a sense of panic. After all, most pharmacists are well aware that a complaint against their license can result in discipline—up to and including revocation of licensure.

When a Dentist is at Risk of Losing Their License

Dentistry—the oldest medical profession—carries with it an unfortunately mixed reputation. Dentists must put up with peoples' fear of drills (unfortunately reinforced by such films as "Little Shop of Horrors") and the wrongheaded ignorance of the profession by health insurance companies—who as a result end up paying for heart surgeries when they could have just covered the extraction and/or replacement of infected teeth. So how much the worse when a Texas dentist must contend with a...

Protect Your Dietitian’s License from TDLR

When a dietitian in Texas is accused of wrongdoing via a formal complaint, it can put their livelihood at risk.

Boards and Agencies Overseeing Medical Professionals in Texas

There are many different boards and agencies in Texas that exist to furnish Medical professionals with their licenses to practice their chosen professions.

When a Texas Nursing Home is Faced With a Complaint

Nursing home facilities within the State of Texas that receive notification that a complaint has been filed against them with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are up against a wall. The Department takes complaints very seriously. It tends to approach complaints as though they were true from the outset. This places the burden on the nursing home facility to prove that it is innocent of any wrongdoing. The facilities that are...
