SUMMARY The Veterinary Licensing Act, article 8890, V.T.C.S., prohibits the practice ofveterinary medicine by a private, for-profit corporation not owned exclusively by veterinarians. Such a corporation may not employ a licensed veterinarian to provide veterinary medical services and itself receive the fee for those services nor may it own the patient or business records or drug inventory of a veterinary medical practice. The Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners may discipline a licensee for permitting or allowing another to use his license or certificate to practice veterinary medicine. Remedies and penalties in the Veterinary Licensing Act for practicing veterinary medicine without a license do not apply to corporations.
