How telehealth prescribing works in Texas
Texas permits licensed providers to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s through telehealth — including asynchronous, store-and-forward review of your intake — when the standard of care is met.
Texas requires any provider writing a prescription to a Texas resident to hold an active Texas medical license — an out-of-state license is not enough. Under Texas Medical Board telemedicine rules, a licensed provider may establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s through telehealth, including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review of a completed intake, provided the standard of care is met and documentation is appropriate. Every Pallas provider who treats Texas patients is individually licensed by the Texas Medical Board; depending on your history, a provider may follow up by message, video, or request additional labs before prescribing. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Texas's additional controlled-substance telemedicine rules (like the Ryan Haight style federal limits) do not add friction here, but our providers still confirm a complete medical history, review contraindications, and arrange follow-up to monitor response, titrate dose, and manage side effects responsibly.

FAQ
Texas GLP-1 questions
Usually no. Texas allows a licensed provider to establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like semaglutide through telehealth, including asynchronous review of your intake. Most Texas patients complete everything by secure message; a provider may request a brief video visit only if your history calls for it.
Texas Medicaid covers certain GLP-1s for FDA-approved diabetes indications but does not cover GLP-1s prescribed for weight loss, and does not cover compounded GLP-1s. Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service, so Medicaid rules do not govern our pricing.
No. Under Texas Medical Board rules, the prescribing provider must hold an active Texas medical license when they treat a patient located in Texas. Every Pallas clinician who treats Texas patients is individually licensed in Texas.
Yes. Compounded tirzepatide prescribed by a Texas-licensed provider and dispensed by a U.S. state-licensed compounding pharmacy is available to Texas residents when there is a specific clinical need. Pallas works only with pharmacies that meet state and federal compounding standards.
