Medical Spa Laws in Texas

Texas maintains a lenient regulatory posture for medical spa ownership and operation. Non-physicians may own a medical spa provided a physician medical director oversees clinical activities and any delegated injections. RNs, LPNs, NPs, and PAs may all inject under physician delegation with minimal state-mandated training. The state's large market and permissive regulatory environment make it attractive for medspa entrepreneurs, though telehealth GFE rules should be verified with the Texas Medical Board.
