It is up to Nevada and Texas to take his license. That is where he practices at. I know you guys are upset but that is how it is. Murray does not practice in Cali so it is not his place to take his license
Maybe someone should tell the Texas Med Board that...I've posted this in the past, it appears to have renewed relevance in light of today's events. If I understand it correctly the Texas med board was waiting on the actions of the other 2 states, now we're saying Cali has no standing in whether or not to pull Murray's license? This all seems pretty bureaucratic with no one state medical board stepping up to the plate to take the lead, it appears as though law enforcement and the boards of the 3 states aren't communicating.
This is what the Texas Med Board had to say in Dec 09 re Murray:

Will Texas Medical Board revoke Conrad Murray's license?
"So what's the latest from the Texas Medical Board, which, contrary to the impression you might have got from everyone's favorite gossip site TMZ, has not confirmed it is investigating Murray. State law only allows disciplinary actions to be made public, not investigations.
"Murray, like all Texas doctors, is subject to scrutiny as well as entitled to due process as outlined in the law which the board must follow," TMB President Irvin Zeitler said in a statement. "Developments and final actions in
California and Nevada on both a medical board and criminal action basis will be monitored."
Curious whether that meant Texas is letting the two other states where Murray is licensed take the lead, hoping to piggyback on their action, we called the board for clarification. Mari Robinson, the board's executive director, said it simply means if another state board were to take a disciplinary action against Murray, that would trigger a TMB investigation (if one is not already under way) and could trigger immediate TMB action. She said that a license revocation by another state would obviously receive greater priority than a fine.
Beyond that, Robinson wasn't tipping her hand about Murray's status in Texas.
If officials deemed Murray a threat to his patient, the board could act quickly to convene an emergency hearing at which some sort of limitation could be placed on the doctor's practice, such as suspending his license or requiring he be accompanied by a supervising physician. It would appear Murray is not seen as such a threat, given the lack of such a hearing or rumors of such a plan more than seven months after Jackson's death.
Robinson acknowledged many Houstonians' concerns, but emphasized the board still needs to meet legal standards and that proof a violation occurred can be difficult to obtain."
