Senate Bill 378 would have prohibited barbers, cosmetologists and estheticians from administering Botox and other injectables unless they were licensed or authorized to give the shots.

AUSTIN (KXAN) - A proposal aimed at establishing more medical examiner offices sooner in Texas died amid a flurry of bills considered on the House floor late Tuesday night, though the lawmaker who carried Senate Bill 1370 in the lower chamber plans to keep the topic alive ahead of the next legislative session in 2027. "I think we should have an interim charge to look at this issue to bring more medical examiners to the state," Rep. Rafael Anchia, D-Dallas, told KXAN earlier this month.
