TMB Chapter 164

Texas Medical Board Chapter 164 — Physician Advertising Rules

Texas Medical Board advertising rules govern how physicians and clinics present credentials, specialties, and treatment outcomes. Marceline Studios integrates TMB-aware copy controls into every Austin healthcare web build — balancing aggressive local SEO with compliant messaging.

• Prohibited deceptive terms blocked in CMS: 'board eligible', 'board qualified'
• Provider credentials verified against TMB license lookup before publish
• Before/after galleries include Texas-appropriate disclaimers and patient consent flows
• Treatment outcome language uses E-E-A-T-safe, non-guarantee phrasing

22 TAC §164.3

TMB §164.3 — Fields of Interest & Mandatory Disclaimers

When physicians advertise fields of interest not recognized by the Texas Medical Board, Texas law requires a conspicuous disclaimer: 'Not certified by an organization recognized by the Texas Medical Board.' We embed this disclaimer automatically when specialty tags trigger TMB review flags.

• Automated disclaimer injection for non-TMB-recognized specialty labels
• Specialty taxonomy mapped to TMB-recognized vs. interest-only fields
• Legal review checkpoint in content publish workflow for Texas clients
• Footer and treatment-page disclaimer modules styled for conspicuous visibility

Two-Year Digital Advertisement Archiving

Texas requires archiving all public digital and electronic web advertisements for a minimum of two years from the last date of publication. We deploy versioned content logs and immutable audit trails so your practice can produce advertisement history on demand.

• Git-based deploy history + CMS version snapshots per page publish
• Timestamped HTML captures stored in compliant US cloud storage
• Change logs tied to author, date, and approval workflow
• Export-ready archive for TMB audit requests

Texas Medical Records Privacy Act (TMRPA) Data Residency

TMRPA imposes stricter parameters on PHI handling than standard HIPAA marketing flows alone. Our Austin architecture routes clinical data through US-based edge middleware with encryption, access logging, and zero browser-side PHI transmission to third-party analytics.

• PHI isolated from marketing analytics via server-side conversion APIs
• US data residency for intake and appointment routing layers
• Role-based middleware intercepts form payloads before external EMR handoff
• TMRPA-aware retention policies configurable per practice legal counsel
