Score 43PRIMARYregulatoryState telehealthTX

Summary

At its August 14, 2026 meeting, the Texas Medical Board disciplined 17 licensed physicians through a range of actions including standard of care orders, unprofessional conduct orders, voluntary suspensions, consent orders, and waiver orders. The board also adopted new and amended rules, including new CME requirements for physicians and physician assistants covering forensic evidence collection and nutrition under HB47 and SB25, amended education standards for non-certified radiologic technology technicians, and an internal employee training reimbursement policy under Texas Government Code Chapter 656.

What this may mean

Texas-licensed physicians must now complete specific CME credits on forensic evidence collection and nutrition/metabolic health at license renewal under amended rule sections 161.35 and 183.16. Physician assistants licensed in Texas face a parallel biennial CME requirement of two hours on forensic evidence collection and one hour on nutrition and metabolic health. The disciplinary actions affect 17 named individual licensees and do not establish new enforcement precedents with broader organizational impact.
