Verification / Open Records FAQ
Official license verification costs $50. There are two ways to request the verification: (1) by mail (please include this form and $50 fee) or (2) online, by clicking the link to the online system.
You can upload the other state’s form with your online application here or mail it in with your request form. We will fill it out and include it with your verification letter.
You do not need to complete the request form if you are only requesting license verification. If you are requesting documents from your file be sent as well, the request form needs to be filled out indicating the documents being requested, signed and uploaded as an attachment. We are not able to send documents from your file without this form being signed and completed at the bottom.
You will need to fill out the Request for State Written Verification to Other Regulatory Agency form. Make sure you sign the form and indicate what records you need to have released to that state. If you have submitted and paid for a state verification and did not submit the signed form, you may submit the signed form via email to open.records@bhec.texas.gov

If the former therapist is deceased, you could try contacting the executor for the estate to find out who has the records.
