Check care
How do I check a Texas clinician’s licence?
Get the full name, professional role, and licence number if available. Use the board for that role, rather than relying on a website badge.
Where do I check a doctor or physician assistant?
The Texas Medical Board’s free search covers doctors and physician assistants. Where listed, it also shows the board’s written decisions, such as penalties or plans to correct problems.

Does a clear record guarantee good care?
No. A record with no listed discipline means no public action to punish or correct the person is shown. It does not tell you how well the person provides care.

What if the details do not match?
Request an explanation from the service, along with the correct name or number. Leave the check unfinished until you can match the details.
Save the record and the service’s reply with your visit notes. Use the pharmacy check next.
