Denial Of Nurse Licensure ~ Texas Board of Nursing (BON)

The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) has the right to deny licensure for nurses wishing to practice in the state of Texas.

If you have applied for a nursing license in Texas and been denied, or if you’re afraid that your application will be denied, please contact our law office. We help nurses attain and defend their nursing licenses.

The most common reasons the board of nursing in Texas denies nursing licenses include:

• disciplinary actions against a nurse in another state
• suspension or revocation of a different license (such as a physical therapy license)
• criminal arrests and convictions (felonies and misdemeanors)
• court martials
• acts involving dishonesty, fraud, or deceit
• failure to meet educational requirements
• lying on the license application
• failure to disclose pertinent information (including records that weren’t properly sealed or expunged)
• irregularities on the nursing exam

Most nurses are not aware of this, but if your nursing license application is denied by the BON, you have the right to appeal, and we can help you with your appeal.
