Texas Nurse and Physician License Verification (RN, MD, PA)

Healthcare License Verifier checks Texas nurse (RN) and physician or physician-assistant licenses by last name, first name or license number and returns one clean row per licensee: license number, type, status, issue and expiry dates, disciplinary status and a board-action flag. It reads the Texas open data portal (data.texas.gov): the Texas Board of Nursing RN register and the Texas Medical Board licensure file. Coverage is Texas only. There is no login or API key, and addresses and birth years are not returned.

Input

Set profession to nurse or physician, then name prefixes or an exact license number. This example lists physicians and PAs named Garcia with disciplinary status:

{
  "profession": "physician",
  "lastName": "Garcia",
  "firstName": "",
  "licenseNumber": "",
  "disciplinaryOnly": true,
  "maxResults": 100
}

• profession: nurse (Texas Board of Nursing RN register) or physician (Texas Medical Board: physicians, PAs, allied) (default nurse).
• lastName: case-insensitive prefix match on last name (default Smith).
• firstName: optional prefix match on first name.
• licenseNumber: exact license number. If set, name filters are ignored.
• disciplinaryOnly: return only licensees with a disciplinary status or a current board action (default false).
• maxResults: 1 to 5000 (default 50).
