The TSBPME License Verification Database is updated, at a minimum, on a monthly
basis to reflect changes in licensure status.
To search the License
Verification Database, you may enter License Numbers (you must include
leading zeroes; for example, for license number "111", enter "0111"), Last Names, First
Names, Cities or any combination of these fields. For example, you could enter
Jones John or Jones Dallas
and all records containing matching data will be returned.
Do not enter any punctuation marks (i.e. commas, hyphens, colons,
periods, etc.).
NOTE: The best method to refine a search that returns
multiple records is to then enter
the Last Name and License Number. Contact agency staff at (512)-305-7000 for any questions.

As a service for the Citizens of Texas, this link is the "Texas OnLine Occupational Profiling System" (TOPS;
TexasOnline.com; SB187-Passed 77th Legislature) which provides
additional licensee and office/practice information as self-reported
by the Podiatric Physician. Information could include handicap
accessibility, number of years in practice, languages
spoken, types of insurance accepted, addresses,
education/training, hospital affiliations, certifications and
other services offered. You may also search a "City" or "Zip
Code" to locate Podiatric Physicians practicing in your area.
NOTICE:
Senate Bill 187, passed by the 77th Legislature, required
certain licensing agencies to collect information from their
licensees and make this information available to the public
through TexasOnline. The purpose is to provide the public with
access to information about licensed professionals to allow them
the ability to make better-informed decisions regarding their
selection of service providers. For this, TexasOnline has
developed the Professional Profiling System capable of
gathering, storing and displaying professional profile
information online. Please note: Much of the data in this system
is self-reported by the license holders. Therefore, neither the
State of Texas nor the licensing agencies accept any legal
liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness,
timeliness, or usefulness of this information. Should you have
any concern as to the accuracy of the data in this system,
please contact the license holder or facility for clarification.
In order for an "Actively" (permanent) licensed (i.e. No.
"####") Podiatric Physician to prescribe "Schedule II"
Controlled Substances, he/she must have an active registration
from the
Texas Department of Public Safety - Controlled
Substances Program (DPS). In addition, a DPS registration is also a
prerequisite to obtaining a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) registration to prescribe "Schedule III, IV & V"
Controlled Substances. You can learn more about the DEA's
jurisdiction and activities by clicking on:
DEA
Diversion Control Program. You may also view the
"Texas Controlled Substances Act" (Texas Health & Safety
Code).
NOTICE:
Podiatry Residents
enrolled in an accredited GPME residency (training) program who hold a
"Temporary" license (i.e. No. "T##-####") may prescribe
Controlled Substances under the (training) facility's DPS/DEA registration
and remain subject to the supervision of the (training) program and
residency director. Under no circumstances are residents allowed
to prescribe controlled substances for purposes outside of the
approved residency (training) program. Additional DPS information can viewed by
clicking
"July 7, 2008 Notification of Changes."
