Agenda Item 4
Licensure Petitions
b. Discussion, recommendation and possible action on petition(s) to waive
the CCT and be allowed to take the Texas State Board Exam.
Richard P. Asbury, DVM
TAB 5
Dr. Asbury is a 1981 graduate of the Ohio State University. He took and passed the NBE in 1981,
but the CCT was not offered.
Since graduation, Dr. Asbury has practiced small animal medicine in Virginia. In 1985, he was
informally sanctioned by the Virginia board. There have been no further occurrences based on
information received from Virginia. The State of Virginia requires that a practitioner obtains a
minimum of 15 hours of continuing education on an annual basis. Dr. Asbury has met or
exceeded this requirement.
Dr. Asbury requests that the CCT is waived and that he is allowed to take the Texas State Board
Examination to earn a license to practice in the State of Texas.
