If you have received a letter of investigation from the Texas Board of Nursing or are at any stage of the legal process with the Board you should consider retaining experienced legal counsel to protect your nursing license. Far too often simple mistakes or missteps by an unrepresented nurse result in a snowballing investigation or the imposition of a disciplinary order which could have been avoided. Furthermore, the disciplinary process involves a mire of statutes and regulations almost always weighted in the Board's favor. Constitutional due process issues may also be implicated. An effective, successful defense of your license requires both familiarity with the medicine and nursing standards involved as well as a working knowledge of the applicable laws and their interaction with each other.
