Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Read this month's Texas EMS magazine; there's an article in it about a guy who went to work without getting his Texas certification. The outcome was not pleasant. So, yes. You must have a Texas certification. A National Registry card by itself is NOTHING. If you know any medics who are working in Texas without a Texas certification, please advise them of the penalties for doing so and have them contact TDSHS immediately. Also, any licensed provider who hires uncertified personnel stands to pay a big fine, lose it's license, or both.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Steve, If you are referring to the current contracted EMS provider serving Vidor, all of the paramedics working on the trucks in Vidor hold TDSHS certifications. Even those helping from California - they are dual state certified. Just to clarify for you, the TDSHS website online certification system had old data in it for a few weeks while they were converting over to their new EMS database and therefore didn't provide all up-to- date EMS certifications when performing an online query. In order to prevent further confusion such as this, as of 3/7/07 TDSHS has taken the online certification verification system off-line until the database is completely operational.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Wonder why Vidorfire did not just call you and ask you? Your only a phone call away.
