Since at least January 1, 1978, it has been a violation of Texas laws concerning the practice of medicine for a person:

(a) to diagnose, treat, or offer to treat any disease or disorder when that person is not licensed to practice medicine in Texas;

(b) for an unlicensed person to impersonate a licensed practitioner; and

(c) for a licensed physician to permit another unlicensed person to use his license or certificate to actually practice medicine. I.G. Ex. 66, 7/ 11 at 141-143; I.G. Ex. 99.”

As such, it is a separate subsection of the criminal statute to claim you are a “medical doctor”, not just a “doctor” which could legally be a PhD. In her case, she claimed to be a Pediatrician. There is *no* non-licensed as a Medical Doctor form of being a Pediatrician.

It seems she pretty clearly did just that.

I'm not a lawyer nor did I stay at a Holiday inn last night, who would need to get the legal ball rolling on this? Some of the MSM would have to give it a little coverage/spin.

I guarantee you that no one is going to hold her accountable for that. Democrats can do just about anything and get a pass time after time. She should be held up as a public shame on the Obama team. When they have to use these kinds of tactics they are losing the argument.

I also am not a lawyer, but it seems pretty clear to me the law is INTENDED to address fraudulently representing oneself as an MD for medical purposes. Otherwise, someone could theoretically be arrested for dressing up as a surgeon at a costume party!

BTW, it is also against law to impersonate a military officer, police officer, etc. Yet, no one is arrested for merely claiming to be such.
