Raquel Leal, PRN director, told the Board PRN continues to receive a steady number of referrals concerning potentially impaired pharmacists and pharmacy students, and that compliance among current participants is acceptable. Leal outlined outreach events earlier in the quarter, including presentations to student pharmacists at the University of Texas at El Paso School of Pharmacy (Feb. 27), the University of Houston College of Pharmacy (Feb. 28) and to P1 students at the University of Texas College of Pharmacy (March 3). PRN also exhibited at the Texas Society of Health-System Pharmacists annual conference at the Irving Convention Center in April.

Leal said the presentations covered mental health and substance-use statistics for health-care professionals, the benefits of peer-assistance monitoring and resources available through PRN. She told the Board PRN plans to continue working with pharmacy schools and other partners statewide to increase awareness of program services.

Leal also reported LBB enrollment numbers submitted March 10 covering Sept. 1, 2024, through Feb. 28, 2025: 0 volunteer pharmacy students, 2 board-ordered pharmacy students, 16 volunteer pharmacists and 38 board-ordered pharmacists. She noted financial details for the same period are included on the last page of PRN’s report. No board action was recorded on the PRN report in the provided transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOARD MEETING | May 6th, 2025 | Afternoon","oneSentenceSummary","Raquel Leal, director of the Professional Recovery Network, told the Texas State Board of Pharmacy PRN saw steady referrals in the third quarter and provided outreach at multiple Texas pharmacy schools and at the TSHP conference; LBB enrollment numbers and program finance figures were also reported.","taxTitle","Texas State Board of Pharmacy, Boards & Commissions, Executive, Texas","taxId",36447,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6566638,"Internal audit rates Texas State Board of Pharmacy compliance 'strong'; two low-risk findings remain open",274,443000,717000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3203908-75ce435a19887baaf19a698399c62436&start=443&end=717","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3203908-75ce435a19887baaf19a698399c62436/thumbnail_443000.jpg","/articles/6566638/Texas/Internal-audit-rates-Texas-State-Board-of-Pharmacy-compliance-strong-two-low-risk-findings-remain-open","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6566638-fd2f03e44030949a187a5e9748a2a850/orig.mp4?Expires=1771095271&Signature=kfj~G-i78kfEpAr3ClGhpBTCOB8sPk~ZW6cRN9tnYaQ60To3~c9YevKqnIDNawhFp0pNkqyJNl4dqwmDhwyAS66u-QRHsKLdNhOR-RICzO4Bg3gjJeb36R8H17NIhWsRXrRqtXGL3VyI9nDq9ESyg3nGSyL0vLPZY4jbJIIgxKVRFU3mmezpyFy6oM41yomn0QtLq2fiZaq3PKAwyVHPy3RZ0A5tcL-rH8uxH0MFX8~XMaqnsnilrJsazVsqDHpsy1wEjw~qNg8Duc67PubiyRVnBcoB~8ZaEtuzU9c-IBwmP6wO7AsQZM~zKOd7kAA4X3V6fJgfwOzB3QHjMypgPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board staff reported near-completion of the Texas State Board of Pharmacy's 2025 internal audit plan and presented findings that included a strong overall rating for internal agency compliance and a closed high-risk enforcement finding.

An internal audit presenter told the Board the internal agency compliance audit, completed shortly after the February 14 meeting, received \"strong\" ratings for both objectives A and B. The presenter said two findings from that report were low risk and concerned segregation of duties and the need for greater cross-training because a large amount of reporting knowledge is concentrated in a few individuals.

The enforcement follow-up report, issued April 25, showed that a previously open high-risk finding from the fiscal year 2023 enforcement report — lack of a secondary review of complaints and investigations by supervisory personnel — has been remediated, the presenter said. The internal audit staff verified the remediation through testing and issued a strong rating for the follow-up.

The presenter summarized the status table showing only two open findings remain; both are low risk and are not IT-related (the presenter said IT-related items are not disclosed publicly for security reasons). The presenter also said the annual audit report guidance typically issues in August and that the agency's annual report to the state auditor's office, the Legislative Budget Board and the governor is due Nov. 1; a draft is expected by the next board meeting.

The transcript attributes the report and these details to the internal audit presenter; no formal board action or vote was recorded on the internal audit items in the excerpt provided.","Internal audit staff told the Board the 2025 internal audit plan is nearly complete, issued a 'strong' rating for internal agency compliance, closed a high-risk enforcement finding and reported two remaining low-risk findings related to segregation of duties and cross-training.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6566643,"Texas State Board of Pharmacy revokes technician registration of Emily Ferdin",71,302000,373000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3203908-75ce435a19887baaf19a698399c62436&start=302&end=373","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3203908-75ce435a19887baaf19a698399c62436/thumbnail_302000.jpg","/articles/6566643/Texas/Texas-State-Board-of-Pharmacy-revokes-technician-registration-of-Emily-Ferdin","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6566643-234b544f738e3ddc54713c5e4ed8a7b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771095271&Signature=bRT02b-e0I5CBh8uS-w4iaKtQb-6dWNAG8bbi6yevMpzDcwwBs5O~Fsj6~Cs7b366FeRfE0iZcLpGI~mZe8XujhWUzWgnS-GIMv3qZ7-AGccMrHHbWhH~pBQqy3Cisix-WFbzbLVucvpmkVkHVLq7EW7kQiI-tGm3lfmieJa2-LRDwEFWl~aNEXsDLWYylp8VRlKLHwnRnGECKqqZ-YJkLeG01YnrhE6~iT2QyRd6OPYP-A4o1DiAgfrAnkCrf2gWma4ugYFTVcvzpSZQucP04I-m4cIWFsXDocXeQ1NadUKHW0Qfeb4LI7kqu5gzVH3sJioffMG-cd1yNjREFUEmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Texas State Board of Pharmacy voted to revoke the pharmacy technician registration of Emily Ferdin, whose registration number is 273367.

An administrative law judge (ALJ) issued a proposed decision on April 9, 2025, finding by a preponderance of the evidence that Ferdin violated the Pharmacy Act and board rules after her January 12, 2024, conviction for the felony offense of deadly conduct with a firearm for discharging a firearm at and in the direction of a vehicle. The court placed Ferdin on four years of community supervision probation. Board staff prepared an order consistent with the ALJ’s recommendation to revoke the technician registration, and staff said it agreed with the ALJ’s recommendation.

Board staff noted that \"Board staff has prepared 1 board order for entry which is consistent with the ALJ's proposal for decision and recommendation revoking Ms. Ferdin's technician registration. Staff agrees with the ALJ's recommendation,\" and reminded members that Board rule 281.6(b) reserves the determination of appropriate sanction to the Board and that the Board is not bound by ALJ recommendations.

A motion to accept the revocation was made and then seconded by board members; the chair called for those in favor, heard no opposition and the motion carried. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote tally or the full text of the court judgment; the board record lists the registration number 273367 in connection with the contested case.

The action was recorded as a formal revocation. The board did not record a separate directive or follow-up assignment in the transcript excerpt provided.","The Texas State Board of Pharmacy voted to revoke the pharmacy technician registration of Emily Ferdin (registration no. 273367) after an administrative law judge found she was convicted of a 2024 felony involving discharge of a firearm into a vehicle.","actionData","errors"]
