I am in Dallas and found out at the beginning of the year about the mandate. I did not see any communication from the Texas Medical or Pharmacy Board. Had unhappy patients who could not fill prescriptions. Had to figure out how to apply for a waiver that is good for one year. Tried to subscribe to NC, paid $500 for 2 providers, it has been 4 weeks and no token received. They would not refund the fee even though no token sent and I don't need it for at least a year. The process to get the service started is overly complex and tedious. One of those headaches of practicing these days.
