Allegations of misconduct filed with the Texas Medical Board (TMB) are serious. Even if you believe the allegations to be baseless, it is important to address the complaint head-on and immediately. The TMB has the power to revoke or suspend your license.
You may feel equipped to respond to the complaint on your own. However, the initial responses given to the TMB are critical. Properly responding to and defending against a TMB complaint is time consuming and requires knowledge of the complaint process and your legal rights. A professional license defense attorney can help you defend your medical license.
Properly Respond to Allegations
When the TMB notifies you of a complaint filed against you, it gives you the opportunity to first send written response. As noted above, these initial responses are critical. A medical license defense attorney can help you properly respond to the allegations against you. In fact, our firm is known for shutting down frivolous complaints at the earliest available opportunity, sparing our clients unnecessary emotional toll and legal expense, while protecting their licenses.
Protect Your Rights
You are great at providing medical services, we are great at protecting your rights. While you are highly trained in your field, we are highly trained in ours. You may irretrievably forfeit important legal rights by making mistakes or not fully understanding the complain process.
You have many rights during an investigation by the TMB. The TMB complaint process may include any of the following:
- Temporary Suspension Hearings
- Informal Settlement Conferences (ISC)
- Show Compliance Proceedings
- State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) Proceedings
You have the right to an attorney during all stages of the TMB complaint process and at any of the above listed legal proceedings. To understand, assert, and protect your rights, hire a medical license defense attorney as soon as you’re notified by the TMB of a complaint.
