You have requested our opinion regarding the authority of the Texas State Board of Podiatric

law regulating the practice of podiatry, the law of this state, and the
law of the United States to govern:
(1) its proceedings and activities;
(2) the regulation of the practice of podiatry; and
(3) the enforcement of the law regulating the practice of podiatry.
TEX. Occ. CODE ANN. 202.151 (Vernon 2000). In addition, the Board is required by rule to:
develop a system to monitor a podiatrist's compliance with this
chapter. The system must include:
(1) procedures for determining whether a podiatrist is in
compliance with an order issued by the board; and
(2) a method of identifying and monitoring each podiatrist who
represents a risk to the public.
