What happens to a licensee who fails to comply with TBCE rules?

• A. They may face disciplinary actions, including sanctions and possible license action.
• B. They automatically lose license after 60 days.
• C. They may practice without any consequences.
• D. They receive a formal warning but keep practice rights without action.

Answer: (A)

When a licensee fails to comply with TBCE rules, the board has the authority to enforce disciplinary measures to protect the public. This means investigations and, if warranted, a range of sanctions such as reprimands, probation, suspension, or revocation of the license, along with possible fines or required corrective actions and continuing education. The process is designed to be proportionate and may involve due process, not an automatic penalty after a fixed period. Therefore, the most accurate description is that disciplinary actions, including sanctions and possible license action, may be imposed. The other options misstate the consequences: penalties aren’t automatically triggered after 60 days, practice rights aren’t guaranteed to remain with no action, and a formal warning with no action doesn’t capture the potential for enforcement.
