A panel of physicians that are appointed by the Texas Department of State Health Services governs the Medical Advisory Board (MAB). A physician from the panel convenes to review possible medical conditions as they relate to the driving ability of reported Texas drivers. The physician reviews medical documentation submitted by the subject’s personal doctor regarding the condition in question. The Department of Public Safety acts in accordance with the medical findings of the Medical Advisory Board by enforcing the decisions of medically incapable or medically approved to drive. A person who is found medically incapable of safely operating a motor vehicle is subject to license revocation. TRC 521.294 (1) A Texas driver may be reported to the Medical Advisory Board by physicians, family, friends, acquaintances, driver license field personnel, anonymously or by admission of a possible health condition that may interfere with the safe operation of a motor vehicle upon application or renewal
