If a complaint is filed against a massage therapist, where should it be reported?

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is the appropriate agency for reporting complaints against massage therapists in Texas. This department is responsible for regulating various professions, including massage therapy, and oversees licensing, compliance, and enforcement of relevant laws and rules. When a complaint is filed, it is directed to TDLR, which can investigate the matter, enforce regulations, and take disciplinary actions if necessary, ensuring the public's safety and the integrity of the profession.

The other options do not manage the licensing or regulation of massage therapy. For example, the Texas Department of Health primarily focuses on public health initiatives and policies, not on the licensing and discipline of individual therapists. The Texas Bureau of Investigation deals with criminal investigations and law enforcement rather than professional complaints about licensed practitioners. The Texas State Legislature is a governing body that creates laws and does not handle individual complaints about professional conduct. Thus, TDLR is the designated authority for such matters.
