Facts: Client received a report from the Board after failing to complete her continuing education for the entity of her term as a licensee and for providing false statements on her renewal applications.
Outcome: Firm argued that client was unaware of the continuing education requirements as she was never actively practicing in Texas. Client believed that she was in inactive status and therefore was not under any requirements to complete any courses. Further evidence in mitigation regarding client’s character and past disciplinary-free career in another state was provided and the Board allowed client to surrender her license without any fine or published disciplinary order.
