Dedicated representation for RNs, LVNs, and APRNs before the Texas Board of Nursing in disciplinary matters, license defense, and compliance issues.
The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating registered nurses (RNs), licensed vocational nurses (LVNs), and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in Texas. The BON has the authority to investigate complaints, impose disciplinary sanctions, and take action against nursing licenses. Nursing board complaints can arise from a wide range of issues — clinical errors, documentation failures, criminal arrests, substance abuse, abandonment allegations, and scope of practice violations. The consequences of a board action can be career-ending, affecting not only your license but your ability to find employment, maintain certifications, and practice in other states. Victoria Soto provides experienced representation for nurses at every level facing Texas Board of Nursing complaints and investigations.
Any nurse licensed in Texas who has received a complaint or communication from the Texas Board of Nursing needs legal representation. This includes registered nurses facing allegations of clinical errors or patient harm, LVNs under investigation for scope of practice violations, APRNs dealing with prescriptive authority issues or supervision concerns, nurses who have been arrested and must self-report to the BON, and nurses facing allegations of impairment, substance abuse, or diversion.
Defense against allegations of nursing errors, medication errors, failure to assess, and departures from nursing standards of care.
Representation for nurses whose criminal arrests or convictions have triggered BON investigations.
Guidance through the TPAPN process and defense against impairment-related disciplinary actions.
Defense against allegations of falsifying records, inadequate documentation, or practicing beyond your scope.
If you have received a letter from the Texas Board of Nursing, been contacted by a board investigator, or know that a complaint has been filed against your nursing license, you need legal representation right away. The BON process can be confusing and intimidating, and nurses who try to navigate it alone often make mistakes that worsen their situation. You should contact an attorney if you have received a notice of complaint or investigation from the BON, you have been asked to provide a written response to allegations, a board investigator has contacted your employer or requested records, you need to self-report a criminal arrest, malpractice event, or substance abuse issue, you have been offered a stipulated order or agreed settlement, or your case has been referred for formal hearing.
Your nursing license is your ability to earn a living and continue the career you trained for. Don't risk it by going through the board process without experienced legal representation.
