I had concerns about how TDLR will handle that because practicing medicine without a license in the state of Texas is a felony. You can be jailed for up to 10 years of your life. It's a very serious thing. However, that particular criminal charge is overseen by the Texas Medical Board, and it is used on people who are practicing medicine, such as nurses or doctors, without a license.
Technically, midwives are not in their jurisdictions. There would need to be a thorough investigation of every patient's records from when Jennifer allegedly started working for Origins to determine the severity of the policies in the admin code that she violated. She was seeing many people unattended without her preceptor.

When me and Markito were discovering this, we had a lot of hope in the system that if we made these reports, that the right things would happen and we would receive justice. TDLR spoke to me directly about my case. So this was their response to me. Thank you for your email. I am working on your case right now to answer a few questions that you asked previously.

Our role at TDLR is purely on license violations rather than criminal activity, even though they can be intertwined. I'm aware that there are other state agencies looking into this matter as well. I do not have any details. You are always welcome to contact law enforcement and make a report to them in regards to criminal activity.

We do have subject matter experts that we contract with to help us determine violations when needed. We also have rules relating to billing and medical records, which we will look at when determining any violations. My response to that email was, thank you. From what I read in this email, TDLR is not required to report criminal activity that has been found in complaints, question mark.

Also, are subject matter experts only licensed midwives? Then I stated that seems very strange, such as in my case, I had severe preeclampsia and other high-risk conditions in my pregnancy. Licensed midwives specialized in low-risk pregnancy are not trained to assess high-risk conditions. Therefore, they are not experts. They are not experts in prenatal pathology.

Is TDLR qualified to assess these medical intricacies of maternal and neonatal health? I understand TDLR's purview is to oversee licensing policies, but there is so much at stake in these complaints. My prosecutor's response to that was, based on the limited authority that our agency has, we do not have a requirement to report suspected criminal activity.

However, there is nothing that prohibits you from being able to file a complaint to law enforcement. you are welcome to share that TDLR has an open administrative case as well. We use subject matter experts that are licensed by TDLR as it would be improper to use medical experts with greater education than our licensees.
