Texas Medical Board Inquiries & Healthcare Professional Licensure Defense

Texas Medical Board Inquiries & Healthcare Professional Licensure Defense

The attorneys at Elliott Sauter understand that your license is your livelihood. It is crucial to retain effective and experienced counsel to help you navigate the procedural and substantive issues with your board matter and to vigorously protect and defend your license against allegations of wrongdoing regardless the source.


Licensed healthcare professionals and entities are often confronted with inquiries or allegations of wrongdoing. These inquiries often come from: State Boards of Pharmacy; State Medical Boards; State Boards of Nursing; State Boards of Dental Examiners; Centers for Medicare Services; Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA); or other professional licensure boards.

These inquiries can come in the form of a complaint letter or a formal investigation letter notifying you that the board has initiated an investigation. The sources of the allegations are often disgruntled and unhappy patients, other healthcare providers, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and various other sources.

Informal Settlement Conferences

In certain circumstances the TMB will determine that there is evidence that a licensee has violated the rules of the Medical Practices Act. When this determination is made the TMB will refer the matter to the legal department and an Informal Settlement Conference (ISC) with be scheduled. The TMB will provide the physician with a detailed Statement of Allegations that will require a timely response. This response will be read by the ISC members and should outline your arguments against action that could be taken against your license. It is critical that a physician not prepare for and attend the ISC alone. Elliott Sauter has successfully argued cases at the ISC level and avoided penalties and remedial actions.

It is crucial to retain effective and experienced counsel to help you navigate the procedural and substantive issues with your board matter and to vigorously protect and defend your license against allegations of wrongdoing regardless the source.

Do not make the mistake of taking a complaint or board investigation lightly. Too often, licensees attempt to navigate the process and resolve matters without involving counsel. This often results in the imposition of onerous disciplinary sanctions that were otherwise avoidable. Retaining effective and experienced counsel familiar with the internal processes of the board and the substantive medical and regulatory issues involved in your matter is critical to protect your license. With years of experience in the healthcare space as federal and state prosecutors and as healthcare defense lawyers, the attorneys at Elliott Sauter are equipped, able, and ready to vigorously defend your license.
