Verification of Legal Presence and License Eligibility: Following the State of Texas Title 22 Examining Boards Chapter 217 (22 TAC §217.8). Under 8 U.S.C. §1621, individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States are generally ineligible to receive certain state and local public benefits, including professional licenses. The adopted rule establishes a process for verifying that individuals seeking licensure to practice nursing in Texas are legally present and authorized to work in the United States in accordance with applicable federal law. The rule requires applicants to submit documentation sufficient for the Board to verify legal presence before a license may be issued or renewed. Adopted under the new Texas Board of Nursing rule §217.8 establishes requirements relating to verification of legal presence and employment authorization for applicants.
