| (a) All applicants for licensure by reciprocity shall:
(1) meet the educational and age requirements specified
in §283.3 of this title (relating to Educational and Age Requirements);
(2) meet all requirements necessary in order for the
board to access the criminal history record information, including
submitting fingerprint information and being responsible for all associated
costs;
(3) complete the Texas and NABP applications for reciprocity.
Any fraudulent statement made in the application for reciprocity is
grounds for denial of the application; if such application is granted,
any fraudulent statement is grounds for suspension, revocation, and/or
cancellation of any license so granted by the board. The Texas application
includes the following information:
(A) name;
(B) addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and social
security numbers; and
(C) any other information requested on the application.
(4) shall present to the board proof of initial licensing
by examination and proof that their current license and any other
license or licenses granted to the applicant by any other state have
not been suspended, revoked, canceled, surrendered, or otherwise restricted
for any reason; and
(5) shall pass the Texas Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination
with a minimum grade of 75. (The passing grade may be used for the
purpose of licensure by reciprocity for a period of two years from
the date of passing the examination.) Should the applicant fail to
achieve a minimum grade of 75 on the Texas Pharmacy Jurisprudence
Examination, such applicant, in order to be licensed, shall retake
the Texas Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination as specified in §283.11
of this title (relating to Examination Retake Requirements) until
such time as a minimum grade of 75 is achieved.
(b) A reciprocity applicant originally licensed after
January 1, 1978, and who has graduated and received a professional
degree from a college of pharmacy, shall show proof such applicant
has passed the NAPLEX or equivalent examination based on criteria
no less stringent than the criteria in force in Texas.
(c) A reciprocity applicant who is a foreign pharmacy
graduate shall provide written documentation that such applicant has:
(1) obtained full certification from the FPGEC; and
(2) passed NAPLEX or equivalent examination based on
criteria no less stringent than the criteria in force in Texas.
(d) An applicant is not eligible for licensing by reciprocity
unless the state in which the applicant is currently or was initially
licensed as a pharmacist also grants reciprocal licensing to pharmacists
duly licensed by examination in this state, under like circumstances
and conditions.
