Notes

The Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners operates under the authority of Chapter 801, Texas Occupations Code. The Veterinary Licensing Act, along with the Board, was created in 1911. The purpose of the Board is to protect the public by ensuring that persons entering the profession meet minimum academic and examination requirements.

The Board also establishes and enforces policies to ensure the best possible quality of veterinary services for the citizens of Texas. The board may adopt and amend rules of professional conduct as appropriate to establish and maintain a high standard of integrity, skills and practice in the profession of veterinary medicine.

* Subject to the Texas Sunset Act; will be reviewed in 2027.
