Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists

Newsletter Vol. 29, No. 2

Best Method for Contacting the Board

While agency staff attempt to be responsive

to telephone calls and inquires, due to a

heavy call volume and limited time and

resources, the best method for contacting

agency staff is via email. While licensees

and members of the public are welcome to

contact the Board via telephone for matters

requiring immediate attention, you are

encouraged to contact agency staff via email

for matters which are routine or not time

sensitive. Please keep in mind that the

Board has limited voicemail capabilities.

Thus, in the event you encounter a full

voicemail box when attempting to contact

staff, you are encouraged to email your

question or concern instead. When

emailing, please indicate in the subject line

of the email whether your communication is

urgent in nature.

Our goal is to respond to urgent or time

sensitive matters as quickly as possible, and

to respond to routine or non-urgent calls and

emails within 10 business days. Response

times may vary however due to such things

as the nature of the inquiry, the need for

further research or review, employee

absences, and other agency priorities.

Many answers to questions received by the

Board are found within the Psychologists’

Licensing Act, Board rules, and licensing

information which may be accessed through

this website. Please refer to these laws and

resources before contacting the Board.

2015 BOARD SERVICE AWARDS

The TSBEP is pleased to announce that it has instituted a new annual program, the Board Service

Awards. The first awards were presented at the 2015 Texas Psychological Association Annual

Convention. We think the awards ceremony was a great success, and hope to make it an annual event.

Pictured from left to right: Tim F. Branaman, Ph.D., Board Chair, Corwin Boake, III, Ph.D., Michael J.

Bridgewater, Ph.D., Mary Alice Conroy, Ph.D., Barry W. Bullard, Psy.D., Ronald A. Garber, Ph.D., Dan H.

Roberts, Ph.D., Brian Stagner, Ph.D., Roberta L. Nutt, Ph.D., Darrel D. Spinks, TSBEP Executive Director.

By way of history, the Board has been searching for a way to recognize those psychologists who have

regularly assisted the Board by serving as Oral Examiners, as members of Board committees, and as

professional reviewers. The Board is able to pay only a small stipend for the professional expertise

needed in order to examine candidates for licensure and to assist in the investigation of complaints that

require professional expertise as part of the investigation.

There are two levels of the awards. There is a 5-year award for those who have served at least once a

year for the past five years, and a 10-year award for those who have served at least once a year for the

past 10 years. Recipients of the 5-year award receive an award certificate; a group picture of those who

received the award and attended the awards ceremony will be published in the Board’s newsletter; and,

their names will be published in the newsletter as having received the award, and why. 10-year award

3

recipients will receive all of the above, plus a lapel pin, and they will be featured in a “Spotlight on…”

section of the newsletter with an individual picture and a short biographical paragraph.

We hope the Board Service Awards will serve as a token of the Board’s appreciation for psychologists

who volunteer their time and expertise in order to help the Board with our mission to protect the public

and to ensure that licensees have the necessary qualifications to provide quality psychological services to

the citizens of the State of Texas.

decades. He is a graduate of both UT-Austin and Texas Tech

incorporated moral, religious, and spiritual factors into the training program. It was only the second time
