Can A Felon Be An Acupuncturist?!


Question:

Can A Felon Be An Acupuncturist?

Can a felon with a violent offense be a registered acupuncturist in Oregon or anywhere in the U.S.A?


Answers:

Not in Texas .....

A felon who has been convicted of a drug crime can be an attorney, but not a notary public. And a felon can get permission to be a licensed physician, but not a physician's assistant. Clearly, the legal bans on employing a felon in Texas are irrational.

As an additional barrier to employment, Texas has over 100 state laws that forbid a felon working certain types of jobs. Just a few employment opportunities legally banned for felons in Texas are:

• Labor union officer or labor organizer,
• Pesticide applicator (ineligible for 5 years),
• Person who issues parking tickets for disabled parking spaces,
• Court interpreter,
• Meat and poultry inspection service,
• Auctioneer,
• Athletic trainer (at the discretion of the licensing agency),
• Insurance agent, counselor, or adjustor (discretion of agency),
• Interior designer (discretion of agency),
• Acupuncturist (discretion of agency),
• Midwife (discretion of agency),
• Mortgage broker,
• Distributor or manufacturer of medical devices (discretion of agency),
• Speech Language pathologist (discretion of agency),
• Hearing aid fitter or distributor (discretion of agency),
• Physical therapist (discretion of agency),
• Dental hygienist (discretion of agency),
• Marriage or family counselor,
• Monitor or aid on a school bus,
• Registered nurse (discretion of agency),
• Chiropractor (discretion of agency),
• Physician assistant,
