Texas Medical Board Restricts Three Licenses in 11 Days

The Texas Medical Board moved against three practitioners between April 2 and April 13, 2026. On April 2, the board restricted surgical assistant Jason Phillip Jimenez's license following his October 2025 arrest on one count of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child. Nine days later, the board suspended Dr. Rodolfo Garma Giraldi's medical license after determining his continued practice posed a continuing threat to public welfare. The same day, the board restricted Dr. David Anthony Rodriguez for sending inappropriate text messages to patients.

All three actions were temporary restrictions or suspensions, not final disciplinary orders. Jimenez's case remains pending criminal proceedings in the Texas courts. Giraldi's suspension will be reviewed at a future administrative hearing. Rodriguez was restricted without notice, meaning the board acted on emergency findings before giving him a chance to respond.

Patients in Texas who have recently received care from these practitioners should verify their current licensing status through the Texas Medical Board licensee lookup. The board's quick succession of actions—spanning surgical assistants to primary care physicians—indicates no single category of provider is being singled out, but rather a pattern of escalated oversight.
