The full Board is required to meet at least four times a year but customarily convenes five times a year. Typical Board business includes interviewing licensure candidates, considering disciplinary matters and adopting substantive and procedural rules. Additionally, Board committees address a variety of important issues.
The Board also regulates as the Texas Physician Assistant Board, and as the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners, and governs radiologic technologists and NPOs, among other health care practices.[2] TMB is a member of the Federation of State Medical Boards.[3]
The current president of the Texas Medical Board is Sherif Zaafran, M.D.[4] It is headquartered in the William P. Hobby State Office Building in Austin, Texas.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
