And the midwives that are on the board that are usually used as expert witnesses, if you're friends with that expert witness and you know that they're an expert witness, is your case being taken seriously? Is that friend just going to push your case along or close it because they were good friends with the midwife that you were complaining against?

We realized that TDLR doesn't have the resources that they need to be able to really investigate these types of cases adequately. We were very disappointed when we found out that TDLR specializes in giving admin fines and things like that for violated terms. They don't charge criminally.

They can send off cases to the OAG or to a law enforcement agency, but they're not required to, from what I was told. So it's up to their discretion to decide what kind of accountability disciplinary actions are adequate for these types of situations. I went through the hoops. I contacted Dallas PD. I contacted the Texas Medical Board. I also tried to connect with the district attorney's office.

I also contacted the OAG's office, all of which said that it is up to the licensing agency to submit reports and to lift these cases up for criminal prosecution. I could not do that myself. The Dallas PD was like, that's not something that we can do for you. The TMB, the Texas Medical Board, said they are not under our jurisdiction. We cannot prosecute midwives because we do not regulate them.

The DA's office said that the report cannot come from a civilian. It would have to come from a law enforcement agency or some sort of licensing entity such as TDLR. So I believe that TDLR has the capacity. They just can choose.

I don't know all the ins and outs of what that looks like and what would prevent TDLR from raising a case like this to people who can prosecute criminally, which I think that's something that needs to be looked at within itself.

I think especially a state entity, if you are presented with a complaint or a case, I think that is your duty to your consumers to report that crime because it leaves people like us civilians with no restitution.
