Texas State Board of Pharmacy
Statewide regulation of pharmacists in Texas began in 1907 with the passage of the Texas Pharmacy Act, creating the Texas State Board of Pharmacy. The board’s duties include: licensing pharmacists by examination or by reciprocity; licensing pharmacies; renewing pharmacists’ licenses annually; maintaining a register of pharmacists; approving degree programs for colleges of pharmacy; investigating complaints of alleged violations of laws relating to the practice of pharmacy; disciplining pharmacists; specifying conditions for pharmacists administering medications (including immunizations and vaccinations); regulating the training, qualification, and employment of pharmacist-interns; and enforcing the Texas Pharmacy Act and rules adopted under the act. The legislature gave the board authority to register pharmacy technicians beginning September 1, 2001. The board also oversees the Texas Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP), which collects and monitors prescription data for all controlled substances (Schedules II through V).
