Common Reasons For Pharmacy License Revocation
Several issues can lead to pharmacy license defense cases in Texas. Some of the most common include:
- Prescription errors: Mistakes in dispensing medications, incorrect dosages or mislabeling prescriptions can lead to complaints and disciplinary actions.
- Medication mismanagement: Failure to follow proper protocols for storing, handling and compounding medications may violate state and federal regulations.
- Fraudulent billing practices: Allegations of overbilling, improper insurance claims or Medicaid/Medicare fraud can trigger investigations by regulatory authorities.
- Diversion of controlled substances: Unauthorized distribution of controlled substances, such as filling fraudulent prescriptions, can result in serious legal consequences.
- Failure to maintain proper records: Inaccurate or incomplete records regarding prescription fulfillment, inventory management or patient information can lead to compliance violations.
- Ethical and professional misconduct: Unprofessional conduct, such as improper relationships with patients, failure to comply with Board regulations or criminal activity, may result in disciplinary actions.

Overview Of The Pharmacy License Defense Process
The Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP) oversees pharmacist licensing and enforces disciplinary measures when violations occur. The defense process includes:
- Initial notification: Pharmacists receive a notice from the TSBP outlining allegations and requesting a response.
- Investigation: The Board conducts an inquiry into the claims, gathering evidence and interviewing involved parties.
- Informal settlement conference: Pharmacists may have the opportunity to resolve the matter through discussions with the Board before a formal hearing.
- Formal hearing: If unresolved, the case proceeds to an administrative hearing before the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH), where evidence is presented and a ruling is made.
- Appeals: If disciplinary action is taken, pharmacists may appeal the decision to seek a more favorable outcome.
Given the complexities of pharmacy license defense, working with an experienced lawyer is crucial. I can build a strong defense, challenge evidence and help protect a pharmacist’s professional future.
