Texas medical license lookup

See whether a physician’s Texas license is active, when it expires, and whether today’s file includes a board action.

File: Texas physician file, 22 September 2026, updated daily. Plainroster is not the Texas Medical Board.

How to look up a Texas license

  1. Enter the license number when you have it. That is an exact match on today’s file.
  2. Or enter the last name, and a first name when the last name is common.
  3. Read the status, the expiration, and any board-action sentence on the row.
  4. Renewals and complaints stay on the Texas Medical Board site.

License C2582 is Horace Taylor Robbins, Physician License, ACTIVE, expiring November 30, 2026. License H5053 is Lawrence Anthony Schaeffer, also ACTIVE. That row includes board-action text from the file: an order dated February 7, 2003, granting termination of a previous order and stating the license is free and clear. The sentence is copied from the day’s file. It is not a new finding.

Texas Medical Board license search. An NPI is not a license. Exclusion lists are a separate check.

How fresh is the Texas file?

The Texas Medical Board publishes this physician file as open data, and the dataset refreshes daily. A search reads that file live rather than a copy stored here. The refresh cited on this page is 22 September 2026. Status, expiration, and any board-action sentence are whatever that day’s row contains. The board’s own license search remains the place for renewals, fees, and a complaint.

Does the file include board actions?

When the row has current board-action text, the result shows that sentence and the date on the file. The words are copied from the open-data field. They are not a narrative written by Plainroster, and they are not a complete case file. If the field is empty, the result does not invent one. California’s monthly physician file is different: it has status and expiration, and it does not include a discipline narrative.

Is an NPI the same check?

No. An NPI is a federal identification number. A Texas license is permission from the Texas Medical Board, with a status and an expiration in the daily file. A person can be active in one file and not in the other. After the license result, look up the NPI and run the exclusion search. Exclusion hits attach to a provider record only when the NPI matches. A shared name is not a confirmed exclusion.
