Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners

Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners This page contains news and information from the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.

The Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners operates under the authority of Chapter 801, Texas Occupations Code. The Veterinary Licensing Act, along with the Board, was created in 1911. The purpose of the Board is to protect the public by ensuring that persons entering the profession meet minimum academic and examination requirements. The Board also establishes and enforces policies to ensure the best possible quality of veterinary services for the citizens of Texas. The board may adopt and amend rules of professional conduct as appropriate to establish and maintain a high standard of integrity, skills and practice in the profession of veterinary medicine. Examinations are administered by the Board to qualified applicants, and successful completion is a prerequisite to issuance of any license. The Board has authority to refuse applicants for examination, revoke or suspend licenses, issue administrative penalties, administer oaths and subpoenas, and compel witnesses to attend hearings concerning alleged violations of the Veterinary Licensing Act.
