22 Tex. Admin. Code § 279.11 - Relationship with Dispensing Optician - Books and Records
(a) Texas Optometry Act, §351.364,
relating to relationships with dispensing opticians, states: The purpose of
this section is to insure that the practice of optometry or therapeutic
optometry shall be carried out in such a manner that it is completely and
totally separated from the business of any dispensing optician, with no control
of one by the other and no solicitation for one by the other.
(b) It is therefore the interpretation of
this Board that an optometrist or therapeutic optometrist practicing under his
own name and dispensing, repairing, or duplicating lenses and/or frames in his
own office as part of his optometric practice would not be required to keep
separate records or books by virtue of the fact that it is all part of his
practice of optometry and not a separate dispensing business.
