Good evening,

I hope everyone is well and safe. I am glad to leave 2020 behind in hopes for a better 2021. My deepest sympathies to any who have lost loved ones through this pandemic. Unfortunately, I myself lost a dear beloved loved one, albeit not to the coronavirus. 

An update on the continuing effort to allow Texas dentists the autonomy in providing telehealth (Teledentistry) services. Below is a case that was just filed.

There is also Senate Bill 488 filed by Senator Perry on 1/27/21 which can be found here:

I will be updating with any pertinent information going forward.

Thank you
