Professions Governed by the Texas Medical Board

The Texas Medical Board is charged with licensing and monitoring the licenses of a number of different medical professions in the state. Obtaining a license from the Board is no easy feat—any license that one may succeed in acquiring through this agency requires a great deal of preparation, including years of education and pre-licensure testing, often at great expense and even potentially a great deal of accrued monetary debt. No one who goes through all...

When a Remedial Plan is Proposed by the Texas Medical Board

The disciplinary actions available to the Texas Medical Board for application to physicians run a gamut. Among the lowest responses, the board may decide upon in response to a complaint against a medical professional’s license is the Remedial Plan. Such a plan, which is put to the physician for review and either acceptance or rejection, is considered corrective—but the Board does not consider a Remedial Plan to be a de facto disciplinary action. Remedial Plans...

When a Nurse Performs Services Only a Doctor or Nurse Practitioner May

As any nursing professional will be aware, nursing positions are disparate in type, and the scope of responsibilities in any individual nursing practice can be remarkably diverse—from the first year of a nurse’s training through the various forms of advanced nursing. Yet from time to time, a nurse will be accused of exceeding the scope of their profession by performing a service that, by law, only a doctor or (in more limited instances) a nurse...

What the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners Thinks of Botched Procedures

Veterinary medicine is a remarkably difficult career to embark upon, due in no small part to the amount of education and training one must undertake to earn a license in Texas. Naturally, it is necessary for veterinary practitioners to be well aware of the principles of the industry and to engage in best practices for the standard of care at all times. Failure to closely adhere to the official requirements is a fast track to...

Practicing Medicine Without a License—Even Accidentally—Can Result in License Revocation

Medical professionals—and doctors in particular—strive for many years and through much toil to earn their licenses to practice. This is not least of all because the state of Texas, along with every other state in the union, has determined that the practice of medicine is a responsibility of the highest order. People depend on medical practitioners to preserve their lives. Therefore, the possible responses by the Texas Medical Board—which regulates the licensure and maintenance of...

Communicate Effectively—Or Face Potential Complaints Against Your License

Licensed professionals are held to a higher standard than your average worker. This is true on the front end—where often a great deal of education and often testing must be endeavored in order to earn licensure in the first place—and once licensure is attained. After all, licenses are granted to these professionals because the state of Texas has determined that the proper performance of their professional duties is necessary for the state’s citizens. As such,...

When Your License is Threatened by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists

Psychology is a complex profession that requires years of dedication to education and post-graduate study.

When a Client Claims Your Attorney Bill is Too High

The fact is, no matter how complicated a case, clients will consider an attorney’s fees to be too high. (This helps account for why we lawyers are the butts of so many jokes.) The majority of people in Texas don’t understand all of the costs, skills, or time investments that go into being a practicing attorney—and which you are entitled for them to reimburse you for. Most of the time, this just results in biting...

Responding to Complaints Against Your License

With very few limited exceptions, every Texas licensing board or commission that chooses to pursue complaints against its licensees is required to notify the license-holder of the complaint—particularly after the board or commission has determined that the complaint alleged is within its competence to investigate and discipline. When you are given such notification, it is paramount that you do nothing that may harm your defense against the complaint. The ways in which you respond at...
