On November 20, 2024, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended, without notice, the Texas medical license of Mario Jack Vela, M.D. (Lic. No. T0376), after determining his continuation in the practice of medicine poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The suspension was effective immediately.
The Board panel found that Dr. Vela is unable to practice medicine due to excessive use of drugs and/or a mental/physical condition.
A temporary suspension hearing with notice will be held as soon as practicable with 10 days' notice to Dr. Vela, unless the hearing is specifically waived by Dr. Vela.
The temporary suspension remains in place until the Board takes further action.
