TX HB4255

Allows the Texas Medical Board to issue a medical license to a person convicted of a nonviolent property felony if they were previously licensed in Texas, have completed their sentence, deferred adjudication, and paid all fines or restitution

Defines "nonviolent property felony" as a felony under state, federal, or tribal law that does not involve intentional or knowing use, attempted use, or threatened use of force, including offenses similar to those under Texas Penal Code Chapters 31-35A and 37 (theft, fraud, forgery, perjury)

Creates an exception to existing requirements that the Board refuse licenses to applicants whose licenses were revoked in other states or who have felony convictions

Requires applicants seeking this exception to be otherwise eligible for a medical license under existing law

Takes effect on the 91st day after the legislative session ends
