Texas NP/PA Full-Practice-Authority Bills All Died Again (89th Lege) — Physician-Delegation Model Stays
Texas's 2025 slate of advanced-practice independence bills — HB 3794, SB 911, SB 3055, HB 1756 — all failed; HB 3794 was left pending in committee April 14 after 30+ physicians testified, and the Texas Medical Association publicly took credit for bottling up the scope bills. Texas keeps its physician-delegation requirement, so every NP needs a supervising physician — a recruiting, cost, and rural-staffing constraint that California FQHCs do not face (CA is moving the opposite direction).
