Frequently asked questions about the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) and what to do if you need to defend your license.
How Long Does a Disciplinary Action Stay on Your Nursing Record?
The answer to how long a disciplinary action stays on your nursing record depends on the type of action, but most formal BON actions can become a permanent part of that record. Texas nursing discipline generally stays on file long after the case concludes. The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) posts formal disciplinary actions to a public database that future employers and licensing boards check. A Texas nurse license defense lawyer can help a nurse...

Ways You Can Lose Your Certified Nursing Aide License
Certified Nursing Aides (CNAs) work closely with patients, families, nurses, and supervisors every day. That visibility creates risk when a complaint or workplace allegation becomes one of the ways you can lose your CNA license in Texas.

A Texas nurse aide defense lawyer can help a CNA respond before that process moves forward....

What Charges Can Stop You from Being a Nurse?
The charges that can prevent you from becoming a nurse in Texas span a wider range than most people expect. The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) evaluates criminal history carefully, and certain charges can put a nursing career in jeopardy before it begins or while it is already underway. A Texas nurse license defense lawyer can help you understand what the BON is looking for in a criminal record review and what the defense needs...

Can a Nurse Lose His or Her License for Mental Illness?
The question of whether a nurse can lose his or her license for mental illness does not have a simple answer. The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) does not discipline nurses for a diagnosis alone; the circumstances surrounding it can put a license at risk. A Texas nurse license defense lawyer can walk you through where that line falls. What the BON reviews comes down to is conduct, disclosure, and whether the condition had any...
Details » What Are the Most Common Reasons Nurses Are Sued?
The most common reasons nurses are sued include medication errors, failure to monitor a patient, and communication failures. Nurses are often the healthcare professionals who spend the most time with patients, monitor changes in condition, administer medications, and communicate with physicians and families. Because of this high level of responsibility, nurses can also face significant legal risk. If you are facing a medical malpractice lawsuit or a related board complaint, an experienced Texas nurse license...
Details » How Can a Nurse Lose a License?
A nursing license represents years of education, clinical training, and personal sacrifice. The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) has the authority to suspend or revoke that license, and the circumstances that trigger a review are broader than most nurses expect. The short answer to how a nurse can lose a license starts with the BON's investigative reach, which is broader than most expect, and a process that moves faster than many realize. A single allegation...

What Is a Confidential Rehabilitation Order?
A Confidential Rehabilitation Order (CRO) is a private agreement that allows eligible physicians or physician assistants to keep their license while addressing substance use or mental health concerns under strict conditions. In Texas, the official legal term is Non-Public Rehabilitation Order, as defined under §180.1 of the Texas Administrative Code. However, many licensees and legal practitioners still refer to it informally as a “Confidential Rehabilitation Order.” This option is only available through the Texas Medical...
Details » What Are Encumbered and Unencumbered Nursing Licenses?
Understanding the difference between encumbered and unencumbered nursing licenses is critical to protecting your ability to practice without restriction. An unencumbered license allows a nurse to work without restrictions, whereas an encumbered license is subject to limitations, often due to disciplinary actions or legal issues. These restrictions can arise due to factors including rule violations, criminal charges, or substance-related concerns. For nurses dealing with such situations, a Texas nursing license defense lawyer can provide guidance...
Details » Can You Get an Insurance License with a Felony in Texas?
You could get an insurance license with a felony in Texas, depending on the nature of the offense, how much time has passed, and whether you can show evidence of rehabilitation. While a criminal history doesn’t necessarily disqualify you, some offenses, especially those involving fraud or dishonesty, are more likely to result in denial from the Texas Department of Insurance. However, demonstrating good moral character and compliance with legal obligations can strengthen your case. If...
Details » Can You Be a Nurse with a Misdemeanor?
Yes, the Texas Board of Nursing may still issue or renew your license after a misdemeanor, depending on the details of your case. If you want to be a nurse with a misdemeanor, you’ll need to prove that the issue won’t affect your ability to care for patients. That takes honesty, preparation, and a clear understanding of what the Board expects from every applicant. A Texas nurse license defense lawyer helps you present the full...
