KEN PAXTON

ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 12, 2026

Communications@oag.texas.gov Attorney General Ken Paxton Takes Legal Action to Support Mary Talley Bowden and

Defend Her Constitutional Rights AUSTIN - Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken legal action to support Mary Talley Bowden, M.D., in her

case against the Texas Medical Board ("TMB"). In 2021, the family of a hospitalized first responder sought a court order directing Dr. Bowden, or a nurse under her supervision, to administer Ivermectin to the patient, who was on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma due to severe COVID-19 complications. A state district court granted the order. However, shortly before

Dr. Bowden's nurse was set to arrive at the hospital, an appeals court blocked the district court's order. Dr. Bowden was not aware of this stay. Dr. Bowden continued efforts to prescribe Ivermectin, and when the nurse

appeared at the hospital, hospital staff refused entry and law enforcement was called However, despite acting in good faith to provide medical care to a potentially dying patient at the request of the patient's family-and while under the assumption that she was acting in full accordance with the law-the Texas Medical Board issued an administrative penalty and public reprimand of Dr. Bowden. Dr. Bowden has now sued the TMB to reverse the reprimand. Attorney General Paxton is not only declining to represent TMB in the case, but he has now filed an intervention in the case in support of Dr. Bowden. Further, Attorney General

Paxton-in support of Mary Talley Bowdenis also declining to represent TMB in another case brought by Dr.

Bowden. "I will not stand by as Dr. Bowden has her Constitutional rights trampled and ability to serve her patients impeded with an illegal reprimand," said Attorney General Paxton. "Dr. Bowden has been a champion for health freedom, selflessly served her patients, and acted in full accordance with the law. That's why I've filed this intervention in support of Dr. Bowden and to ensure administrative agencies don't violate the rights of

licensed professionals in Texas." The intervention notes that TMB's reprimand was done with no consideration of medical expert testimony, ignored the fact that Dr. Bowden was acting in reliance upon both a court order and advice of counsel, and

ignored due process during the hearing on the reprimand.
