You have to be licensed in the state where you are seeing a patient. He isn’t licensed in Texas. Really he could have prescribed Tylenol and still been at fault

The person is practicing in New York, where he lives. Unless you’d also like to argue that a Texan visiting New York can’t get treatment for the same reason, I’m not sure what your point is.

That isn’t how telehealth works. The doctor must be licensed in the state where the patient is. That’s how the low works. States have authority in their borders.
