One of the best examples where a client failed to hire the right Texas RN defense lawyer will be discussed in this case.
On or about October 7, 2019, a RN from Dallas was arrested for DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED W/ CHILD UNDER 15 YOA, a State Jail felony offense.
Because of this, the RN was summoned by the Texas Board of Nursing. During the hearing, the RN states that while criminal charges are pending she cannot provide information concerning the alleged offense. However, she states she has completed a thirty (30) day inpatient treatment program and is currently in Intensive Out Patient (IOP) treatment and attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) daily: Further, the RN states she is not practicing nursing and has no plans to do so while this matter is pending.
However, she failed to hire an experienced Texas RN defense lawyer to help her defend her side of the story.
The RN failed to properly present and defend her case against the court. She was disciplined and warned of suspension of her RN license by violating Texas Board of Nursing regulation.
Avoid the similar thing from happening on your end. Make sure to find the right Texas RN lawyer in case a complaint will be filed against you before the Texas Board of Nursing (BON).
