Common Licensing Issues We Handle

Every case is unique, but most investigations and enforcement actions fall into familiar categories:

• Patient Complaints: Allegations of negligence, unprofessional conduct, or communication breakdowns with patients or their families.
• Complaints and Investigations: Allegations of unprofessional conduct, substandard care, or ethics violations.
• Substance Use or Impairment Issues: Board-mandated evaluations, peer assistance programs, or monitoring agreements.
• Documentation and Billing Disputes: Recordkeeping, supervision, or improper coding concerns.
• Criminal Arrests or Convictions: DWI, assault, theft, or other charges impacting professional standing.
• Failure to Comply with Continuing Education or Renewal Rules.
• Delegation and Supervision Concerns: Especially for OT/PTs, APRNs, and PAs.
• HHSC Facility Citations and Enforcement: Deficiency reports, license denials, or administrative penalties.

From informal investigations to formal hearings, we understand how each board and agency operates and how to protect your rights.

The Dike Law Group Advantage

Focused on Healthcare. We work exclusively with healthcare providers, practices, and facilities. Our team understands how licensing, compliance, and healthcare law intersect.

Proactive Strategy. We don’t wait for the board to make the next move. We engage early, correct errors, and present your case in the best possible light.

Results-Oriented Representation. Our attorneys have helped professionals achieve dismissals, remedial plans, and non-disciplinary resolutions that preserve careers and reputations.

Professional Insight. Our familiarity with Texas boards, investigators, and HHSC surveyors allows us to anticipate challenges and negotiate from a position of strength.

What to Do If You Receive a Complaint or Notice

1. Do not contact the board investigator directly. Anything you say can be used against you.
2. Preserve all evidence. Save documentation, records, emails, and communications related to the complaint.
3. Mark your deadlines. Many responses are due within 10 to 30 days—missing one can worsen your case.
4. Call now. Early intervention is the key to protecting your license.
