Texas Medical License & Texas Medical Board Help
We prepare and track Texas Medical Board (TMB) applications for MDs, DOs, PAs, and allied health — plus the Texas jurisprudence exam, IMLC pathways, renewals, credentialing, and CAQH statewide.
Getting a TX medical license without the back-and-forth
Texas licenses MDs and DOs through a single agency — the Texas Medical Board — so there is no separate osteopathic board to file with. What trips applicants up instead is the volume of primary-source verification TMB requires and the Texas Jurisprudence Examination, which must be passed before a license is issued.
We assemble the TMB packet in filing order: online application, then medical school and postgraduate training verifications, exam history, and the affidavit set — with the jurisprudence exam scheduled early rather than left until the Board flags it as the last open item.

Texas board lookup & license verification
Who regulates what in Texas, and where to verify a license. Filing with the wrong board — or verifying against the wrong registry — is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes in state licensure.
Texas Medical Board (TMB)
Physicians (MD and DO), physician assistants, acupuncturists, medical radiologic technologists, respiratory care practitioners, and surgical assistants.
TMB license verificationTexas Board of Nursing (BON)
Registered nurses, LVNs, and advanced practice registered nurses practicing in Texas.
Texas BON license verificationInterstate Medical Licensure Compact — Texas

TX medical license FAQ
Which board licenses physicians in Texas?
The Texas Medical Board licenses both MDs and DOs — Texas does not run a separate osteopathic board. TMB also licenses physician assistants, acupuncturists, medical radiologic technologists, respiratory care practitioners, and surgical assistants.
Is the Texas Jurisprudence Exam required?
Yes. Physician applicants must pass the Texas Medical Jurisprudence Examination, which covers Texas medical practice law and Board rules. We schedule it early in the process so it is never the item holding a file open.
Does Texas participate in the IMLC?
Yes. Texas is an Interstate Medical Licensure Compact member state, so physicians principally licensed in another compact state can use the expedited compact pathway rather than a full Texas application.
How long does a Texas medical license take?
Timing depends on how quickly medical school, postgraduate training, and exam verifications reach the Board, plus jurisprudence exam completion. The Board controls the calendar and we do not guarantee a processing time — what we control is filing a complete file so it never enters the deficiency queue.
How do I verify a Texas physician license?
Use the Texas Medical Board's public physician profile and license verification search. Nursing licenses verify separately through the Texas Board of Nursing.
Do you serve all of Texas?
Yes — Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, El Paso, Arlington, Plano, and statewide. All intake is remote.
