$899 flat fee — we prepare and track your Texas medical license application end to end. $1,497 if you have prior discipline, a malpractice suit, or anything on your record to explain.
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.
Flat-fee pricing in Texas
One published flat fee, confirmed in writing before any work starts. Board, FCVS, verification, fingerprint, and exam fees are paid directly to those agencies and are never marked up by us.
$899
Standard physician licensure
A clean record with nothing to explain to the board.
- Full application prepared and submitted-ready for one state and one license type
- FCVS, primary-source verifications, and credentialing paperwork coordinated
- Every board deficiency-response package prepared until the file is complete
- Status tracking and follow-up with the board through to issuance
$1,497
Licensure with a history to explain
Any prior discipline, malpractice suit, settlement, investigation, board inquiry, hospital action, or unresolved question on your record — whether or not discipline was ever entered.
- Everything in the standard engagement
- Written explanation and disclosure package for each reportable event
- Supporting records assembled: court, settlement, hospital, and prior-board documents
- Prepared responses for board follow-up questions and interview preparation
What counts as "a history to explain"
Discipline does not have to have been entered. If any of these appear anywhere in your record, the application requires disclosure work and is priced at the higher flat fee:
- • Any board discipline, consent order, reprimand, probation, or fine
- • A malpractice lawsuit — filed, settled, dismissed, or pending
- • A malpractice settlement or judgment, at any amount
- • An open or closed board investigation or complaint
- • A hospital privileging denial, restriction, resignation, or non-renewal
- • A prior license denial, withdrawal, lapse, or non-renewal in any state
- • Any criminal charge, DUI, or diversion program
- • A National Practitioner Data Bank report of any kind
Choose the correct fee
Clean record or a history that must be explained?
The price is based on the work your record requires—not on whether a prior event ultimately became formal discipline. Disclose it at intake so the application and source records stay consistent.
$899 — clean record
For one state and one license type when there is no adverse history or reportable event to explain. We prepare the application, organize the supporting record, coordinate the checklist, and track the file after you submit it.
$1,497 — history to explain
This applies when any event needs disclosure or explanation—even if no discipline was entered, a case was dismissed, or an investigation closed without action.
- Any board discipline, consent order, reprimand, probation, or fine
- A malpractice lawsuit — filed, settled, dismissed, or pending
- A malpractice settlement or judgment, at any amount
- An open or closed board investigation or complaint
- A hospital privileging denial, restriction, resignation, or non-renewal
- A prior license denial, withdrawal, lapse, or non-renewal in any state
- Any criminal charge, DUI, or diversion program
- A National Practitioner Data Bank report of any kind
What to gather before we start for Texas
You do not need every document in hand before contacting us. This list lets us identify missing records early, before they hold up board review.
- Government-issued identification and current contact information
- Medical school, graduation date, degree, and ECFMG details if applicable
- Every internship, residency, fellowship, and postgraduate training program
- Every current, inactive, expired, or surrendered professional license
- USMLE or COMLEX history and an existing FCVS profile, if you have one
- A complete work and activity history, including explanations for gaps
- Malpractice carrier and claim history, including dismissed or settled matters
- Every board letter, hospital action, investigation, court record, or NPDB report
What the board will evaluate
Requirements vary by profession and pathway. Common review areas include identity, education, examinations, postgraduate training, background history, and records from every prior board.
- Degree from an LCME-accredited (MD) or AOA/COCA-accredited (DO) medical school
- USMLE or COMLEX — all steps completed within the Board's recognized attempt and time limits
- Graduate medical education verified directly by each ACGME/AOA program (additional years required for international graduates)
- ECFMG certification for international medical graduates
- Passing score on the Texas Medical Jurisprudence Examination
- Fingerprint-based criminal background check
- Full disclosure of malpractice, discipline, and license history in every jurisdiction
What happens next—and what can delay a license
No consultant controls the board’s decision or calendar. Starting with a complete, consistent record reduces avoidable delays; third-party verification and individual board review still take time.
1. Scope and record review
We identify the state, license type, required pathway, and whether your history needs additional disclosure documents.
2. Application preparation
We organize your chronology, prepare the application and explanations, and give you a submission-ready package to review and sign.
3. Third-party verification
Medical schools, training programs, examination services, prior boards, fingerprint vendors, and FCVS send records on their own schedules.
4. Board review and follow-up
After you submit, we track the file and prepare your response package if the board identifies a missing item or asks for clarification.
Common reasons files stop moving
- A training program or prior licensing board has not returned verification
- Dates in the application do not match a CV, FCVS profile, or source record
- An employment or training gap is missing a complete explanation
- A lawsuit, settlement, investigation, hospital action, or license event was omitted
- Fingerprints, examination scores, transcripts, or ECFMG records are still pending
- The board placed the file on a committee or meeting agenda for individual review

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
Texas is a member of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. Physicians whose State of Principal License is another compact member can use the IMLC pathway into Texas instead of the full application. We handle both the Letter of Qualification side and the Texas issuance side.

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.
Where is the Texas medical board located and how do I contact it?
Texas Medical Board — 1801 Congress Avenue, Suite 9-200, Austin, TX 78701 (mail: P.O. Box 2029, Austin, TX 78768-2029). Main line (512) 305-7030. We are not the board; we prepare and track the file that goes to it.
How do I look up or verify a Texas medical license?
Use the board's public license verification search at the TMB physician profile search (https://profile.tmb.state.tx.us/Search.aspx). Verification through the official registry is the only record employers, payers, and hospitals accept.
What does the Texas board not handle?
Nurses and APRNs are licensed by the Texas Board of Nursing, pharmacists by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, dentists by the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, and healthcare facilities by Texas Health and Human Services. Filing with the wrong agency is a common reason a Texas application is returned unprocessed.
Does the Texas board handle complaints and discipline?
Yes. The Texas Medical Board investigates complaints against its licensees and takes disciplinary action, and board orders appear on the public physician profile. Disciplinary history has to be disclosed and reconciled in any later application — we prepare that disclosure record, we do not represent anyone in a board proceeding.
The Texas medical board, explained
The Texas Medical Board is at 1801 Congress Avenue, Suite 9-200, Austin, TX 78701, with mail to P.O. Box 2029, Austin, TX 78768-2029, and a main line of (512) 305-7030. Searches for the “Texas state medical board,” “TMB,” and the “medical board of Texas” all point here.
Texas is unusual in that one board licenses both MDs and DOs, and it also administers the physician assistant, acupuncture, and several allied-health programs. It licenses, renews, and disciplines, and it acts on licensure items on a defined schedule.
PF Consulting Firm is an independent consulting firm. We are not the board, not affiliated with the State of Texas, and we cannot approve, expedite, or guarantee a license. What we control is the completeness and sequencing of your file before it reaches the board.
