The purpose of this subchapter is to establish procedures for
the denial, revocation, probation, or suspension of a license, reprimand
of a licensee, or imposition of an administrative penalty, and the
procedures for filing complaints and allegations of statutory or rule
violations.
(1) The following shall be grounds for revocation,
probation or suspension of a license, imposition of an administrative
penalty, refusal to renew a license, or reprimand of a licensee if
a licensee has:
(A) been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving
moral turpitude;
(B) obtained or attempted to obtain a license by fraud
or deception;
(C) used drugs or alcohol to an extent that affects
professional competence;
(D) been grossly negligent in performing professional
duties;
(E) been adjudicated mentally incompetent by a court
of competent jurisdiction;
(F) practiced in a manner detrimental to the public
health or welfare;
(G) advertised in a manner that tends to deceive or
defraud the public;
(H) had a license or certification revoked by a licensing
agency or by a certifying professional organization or by a governmental
agency;
(I) otherwise violated the Act or board rules;
(J) committed an act for which liability exists under
the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter 81;
(K) violated an order of the board; or
(L) engaged in conduct that discredits or tends to
discredit the profession of marriage and family therapy.
(2) If the board suspends a license, the suspension
shall remain in effect for the period of time stated in the order
or until the board determines that the reason for the suspension no
longer exists.
(3) If a suspension overlaps a license renewal date,
the suspended marriage and family licensee shall comply with the renewal
procedures in this chapter; however, the suspension shall remain in
effect pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection.
(4) Upon revocation, suspension or non-renewal of a
license, a licensee shall return his or her license certificate and
