What changed
The Texas Board of Radiologic Technology has temporarily suspended the medical radiologic technologist certificate of Laurie Ann Brown. The suspension, effective immediately on February 11, 2026, was issued without notice after the Board determined her continued practice posed a threat to public welfare. This action follows Ms. Brown's arrest for Driving While Intoxicated on July 29, 2025, and her subsequent failure to respond to the Board's inquiries.
This temporary suspension remains in effect until the Board takes further action. A hearing will be scheduled with 10 days' notice to Ms. Brown, unless waived. Regulated entities, particularly healthcare providers, should be aware that professional licenses can be suspended pending investigation and disciplinary proceedings, especially in cases involving criminal arrests that raise public safety concerns. Non-compliance with board inquiries can exacerbate disciplinary actions.
What to do next
- Review disciplinary actions taken by state licensing boards for potential impact on personnel.
- Ensure all personnel respond promptly to inquiries from regulatory bodies.
