Re: Relicensing of psychologistsDear Ms. Bizz ell:
You inquire as to the standards applied to the recertification of a
psychologist whose license has been revoked. You wish to know whether he
is subject to (1) the standards used to judge his original application, (2) the
standards used to judge applicants at the time of revocation of that
particular individual's license, (3) the current standards applied to all
applicants at the time of reapplication, or (4) any other standards
promulgated by the Texas Board of Examiners of Psychologists on an
individual case by case basis not inconsistent with the act.
Section 23 of article 4512c, V.T.C.S., authorizes the Texas State Board
of Examiners of Psychologists to cancel, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew
the license of any psychologist upon proof of a number of specific offenses.
In addition, the board may take such action "for any cause for which ...
[it] shall be authorized to refuse to admit persons to its examination." The
individual may apply for relicensing under the following provision:
Upon application, the Board may recertify the
applicant or reissue a license to a person whose
license has been cancelled or suspended, but such
application, in the case of cancellation or revocation,
shall not be made prior to one (1) year after the
cancellation or revocation and shall be made in such
manner and form, as the Board may require.
V.T.C.S. art. 4512c, $23.Section
