Temporary Suspension Hearings

On April 29, 2014, the Applications for Temporary Suspension of the pharmacy license of Pill Box, Pharmacy License#2472, of Dumas, Texas, the pharmacist license of S. Ray Johnson, Pharmacist License #16082, of Dumas, Texas, and the pharmacist license of Carol M. Johnson, Pharmacist License #16435were granted in that the evidence and information indicated that Pill Box, Mr. Johnson, and Ms. Johnson are a continuing threat to the public welfare based on the following:
  • Mr. and Ms. Johnson are the owners and only pharmacist employees of the pharmacy.
  • Mr. Johnson continued to perform pharmacist duties with a suspended license at the pharmacy.
  • Mr.  and Ms. Johnson’s actions demonstrate a lack of regard for the Texas pharmacy law and Texas Pharmacy Board Rules.  
The Board Disciplinary Panel adopted the proposed Temporary Suspension Orders and suspended Respondents’ pharmacist licenses and pharmacy license accordingly.

On April 29, 2014, the Applications for Temporary Suspension of the pharmacy license of A& I Pharmacy, LLC, wasgranted in that the evidence and information indicated that A & I Pharmacy is a continuing threat to the public welfare based on the following:
  • The pharmacy has ceased to engage in the business described in the application for a pharmacy license for 30 days or longer.
  • Because the pharmacy is not engaging in the sole purpose for which the license was issued, allowing the pharmacy to continue to hold a license to operate constitutes a continuing threat to the public welfare.
 The Board Disciplinary Panel adopted the proposed Temporary Suspension Order and suspended Respondents’ pharmacist license accordingly.
