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...

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is responsible for admitting dietitians to practice in the...

Can Nurses Obtain the Identity of a Filer of a Complaint With the Texas Board of Nursing?

No nurse wants to learn they have been the subject of a complaint before the Texas Board of Nursing. Anyone can file these complaints, and they can result in serious professional repercussions, including revocation of the license to practice as a nurse in the state. Such a result generally means that the possibility of licensure elsewhere is off the table as well. This all amounts to a lot of wasted money, wasted time, and wasted...

Attorneys Who Defend Other Texas Attorneys in State Bar Disciplinary Actions

Any Texas attorney who finds they have been made the subject of a formal complaint before the State Bar should take immediate action to protect their license to practice law.

Yet even where a claim is baseless, having to go through the complaint...

When is the Texas Board of Nursing Required to Suspend or Revoke a Nursing License?

The possibility they may lose their license is one of the greatest professional fears that nurses live with. Complaints to the Texas Board of Nursing sometimes have the unfortunate outcome of revocation of licensure, mainly where violations of relevant code and rules are considered egregious enough. Of course, usually, there is some latitude in the discipline that the Board doles out, allowing it to be lenient where it believes improvement is still possible. But there...

When a Texas Insurance Agent is the Subject of a Formal Complaint

Every year, many complaints—numbering in the thousands—are formally filed against Texas insurance agents. Many of these are founded in evidence, but many are not. The Texas Department of Insurance accepts these formal complaints as the body governing the licensing and maintenance of insurance agents. Any insurance agent who has a complaint filed against them may find their license to practice real estate—and with it, their career and livelihood—is in peril. When a member of the...
