The Psychologists' Certification and Licensing Act of 1969 (Vernon's
Ann. Civ. St., Article 4512c) created the Texas State Board of Examiners of
Psychologists (Senate Bill 667, 61st Legislature, Regular Session, 1969). This
law regulates all persons practicing psychology or offering psychological
services for compensation, whether to individuals or to corporations. Effective
September 1, 1969, the original bill was declared an emergency
"due to the lack of means to determine qualifications
of psychologists, subjecting persons to exploitation and injury at the hands of
the unqualified and unscrupulous; the need to control and define psychologists
who are now required within the schools by current pending legislation; and the
lack of sufficient number of psychologists in Texas."
The mission of the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists
includes the following: establishing education, experience, and examination
requirements; adopting professional standards for the practice of psychology;
investigating and enforcing compliance with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations of the board; and serving as a source of information and
education to the public, the profession, and governmental entities.
The board has the following powers: certifying and licensing
psychologists with doctoral degrees, by means of written and oral examinations
and a review of education and experience; licensing psychological associates
with master's degrees; suspending or revoking licenses or certificates for
violation of the law; monitoring the activity of persons who have apparently
violated state law; assisting applicants through the application process;
responding to requests from professionals and the general public concerning the
practice of psychology.
The board is composed of nine members (increased from six members in
1981), appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate for
overlapping six-year terms. From 1969 to 1993, six of the members had to be
psychologists; in 1981, one psychological associate and two members of the
general public were added to the board. Since 1993, four of the members must be
licensed or certified psychologists active for at least five years (including
at least two actively rendering psychological services, one involved in
psychological research, and one a faculty member of a training institution in
psychology); two members must be licensed psychological associates; and three
members must represent the general public.
In accordance with the statute, the board meets at least twice a year
(in practice, usually five times a year), and has rule-making power. It was
charged with adopting and publishing a Code of Ethics. The board fixes fees for
certification, licensing, and renewal; renewal originally was to occur once
every two years, but was changed to an annual requirement in 1993. Each April,
the board must publish a list of all psychologists certified or licensed in
Texas; it must file that list with the Secretary of State, and provide it to
each person licensed, and to the general public on request. As of June 1998,
3,169 psychologists were licensed to practice in Texas; another 162
psychologists were licensed to practice under supervision; 1,466 psychological
associates were licensed to practice under supervision; and 1,629 specialists
in school psychology were licensed to practice in the public schools in
Texas.
The Psychologists' Certification and Licensing Act does not apply to:
psychologists or psychological associates employed by any government agency,
public school district, or regionally accredited institution of higher
education; any supervised student, intern, or resident; qualified members of
other licensed professions (physicians, surgeons, attorneys, registered nurses,
licensed vocational nurses, occupational therapists, certified social workers,
licensed professional counselors, career counselors, licensed marriage and
family therapists, and licensed chemical dependency counselors); duly
recognized members of the clergy, if they do not represent themselves to be
psychologists; and volunteers working for charitable nonprofit
organizations.
The board may cancel, revoke, or suspend a license upon proof of a
felony conviction, drug addiction, fraud, or unprofessional conduct. Filing
charges leads to a hearing, in which the accused has the right to appear, to
produce witnesses or evidence, to cross-examine, and to have subpoenas issued
by the board. The board may also impose probation. Beginning in 1993, any
hearings are held before the State Office of Administrative Hearings. Appeal of
the board's decision may be made in district court.
A number of changes were made in 1993 by Senate Bill 1424, 73rd
Legislature, Regular Session. The practice of psychology was defined to include
the following: the use of projective techniques, neuropsychological testing,
counseling, career counseling, psychotherapy, hypnosis for health care
purposes, hypnotherapy, and biofeedback and the evaluation and treatment by
psychological techniques and procedures of mental or emotional disorders and
disabilities. The board was authorized to employ investigators, lawyers,
consultants, and administrative staff. The board was ordered to establish
mandatory continuing education programs for persons regulated by the board, as
well as a training program for members of the board. The board was to have the
written portion of the examination validated by an independent testing
professional. The board must keep an information file about each complaint
filed with the board (containing a record of all persons contacted in relation
to the complaint, a summary of findings made at each step of the complaint
process, an explanation of the legal basis and reason for a complaint that is
dismissed, and other relevant information). The board must develop a system for
monitoring license or certificate holders' compliance with the law.
In 1993, a Psychological Associate Advisory Committee was created,
composed of six members appointed by the governor: three licensed psychological
associates, one licensed psychologist, and two members of the general public
not licensed in health care. This advisory committee was to develop and
recommend to the board rules concerning the regulation of psychological
associates.
The agency staff consists of 14 full-time equivalent employees, and
there were four divisions in 1995: Fiscal/Benefits Division, Operations
Division, Investigations/ Enforcement Division, and Legal Division.

report produced by Texas State Archives staff; the

1981, and 1993.)

The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists examines,
licenses, and regulates psychologists and psychological associates practicing
in the State of Texas. These records--minutes and agenda, and administrative
correspondence--document those functions, dating 1969-2007.
Minutes and agenda document the decisions made at meetings of the
board, 1969-2007, and also at meetings of the Psychological Associate Advisory
Committee, 1995-2003. The board minutes include the following: summaries of
administrative hearings; lists of persons certified by the board as
psychologists and as psychological associates; motions made, discussed, and
acted upon by the board, concerning both general policy and specific actions;
the texts of proposed rules and regulations up for adoption; summaries of
complaints considered before the board; full texts of Agreed Findings of Facts,
Conclusions of Law, and Orders adopted by the board; and other documents
included as attachments to the official minutes of the board. Between November
1995 and September 2003, these records also include minutes of the
Psychological Associate Advisory Committee to the Texas State Board of
Examiners of Psychologists. Agenda were included in the transfers of most
minutes between 1995 and 2001. Topics of discussion and action of the board
include applications of specific individuals for licensure as psychologists and
as psychological associates, requests by licensees (e.g., deferral of oral
examinations, waiver of fees, change of inactive status, etc.), disciplinary
sanctions, complaints and continuing education violations, changes to
administrative rules, budgets, concerns of psychological organizations and
training institutions, etc.
The correspondence documents alleged violations of the law prohibiting
the misrepresentation of persons practicing psychology or offering
psychological services for compensation without being so certified by the State
of Texas. This correspondence consists of incoming and outgoing letters, with
attachments (mainly copies of advertisements, especially in the newspapers or
the telephone yellow pages), dating 1987-1991. The letters include complaints
by the general public, initial warnings from the board sent by certified mail,
and responses from alleged violators defending their advertisements or
detailing their efforts to correct the situation.

Texas State Archives staff completed an appraisal of the Texas State
Board of Examiners of Psychologists in May 1996. Five series on the agency’s
retention schedule were determined to be archival: board meeting minutes and
agenda, administrative correspondence, biennial budget requests, organizational
charts, and strategic plans.
The archival requirement for the biennial budget requests,
organization charts, and strategic plans is fulfilled by sending copies of the
biennial budget requests (which contain organization charts) and strategic
plans to the State Publications Depository Program of the Texas State Library
and Archives Commission. The Texas Documents Collection holds biennial budget
requests/legislative appropriations requests dating 1983-2004 (for FY
1984-2007); and strategic plans for 1995-1999, 1997-2001, 1998-2003, and
2001-2005.
Administrative correspondence is no longer an active series (since
1991), according to agency staff.
Additions to the minutes and agenda are transferred to the Texas State
Archives on at least an annual basis. Administrative correspondence, however,
has been an obsolete series since 1991.
The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists has mounted its
more recent minutes on the agency web site (
http://www.tsbep.state.tx.us/minutes.html).
As of April 2008, this included October 2000 thru May 2007.
The record copies of minutes and agenda are maintained by the Texas
State Board of Examiners of Psychologists.

Administrative correspondence,
1987-1991,
2 cubic ft. |
|
The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (among other
duties) monitors activities by persons allegedly violating the Psychologists'
Certification and Licensing Act, including those portions of the Act relating
to the advertising of psychological services. This correspondence documents
alleged violations of the law prohibiting the misrepresentation of persons
practicing psychology or offering psychological services for compensation
without being so certified by the State of Texas. This correspondence consists
of incoming and outgoing letters, with attachments (mainly copies of
advertisements, especially in the newspapers or the telephone yellow pages),
dating 1987-1991. The letters include complaints by the general public, initial
warnings from the board sent by certified mail, and responses from alleged
violators defending their advertisements or detailing their efforts to correct
the situation. The series has been obsolete since 1991. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged chronologically by year or group of
years, then alphabetically by last name of person or organization under
