Score 43PRIMARYregulatoryState telehealthTX

Summary

The Texas Medical Board revoked, by operation of law, the medical license of William Rockwell Evans, M.D., effective September 4, 2026, after finding he engaged in an inappropriate sexual relationship with a patient and prescribed an abortifacient to that patient on approximately December 17, 2023, in violation of Texas Health and Safety Code section 170A.002(a). Under Texas Health and Safety Code section 170A.007, a license holder who performs, induces, or attempts an abortion in violation of section 170A.002 is subject to mandatory license revocation.

What this may mean

The revocation applies to one individual Texas physician and is governed by a mandatory revocation statute specific to Texas abortion law. The action does not create new enforcement standards for healthcare organizations beyond confirming the board's application of mandatory revocation under Texas Health and Safety Code section 170A.007. Limited direct operational impact for healthcare organizations, though the action illustrates that Texas abortion-related prescribing violations carry automatic license revocation.
