On January 9, 2020, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Board of Medical Radiologic Technology temporarily suspended, without notice, the Texas Medical Radiologic Technologist certificate of Luis Rey Martinez, MRT (Lic. No. GMR00027010), after determining his continuation in the practice of medical radiologic technology poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The suspension was effective immediately.

The Board panel found that on or about December 3, 2019, Mr. Martinez surrendered himself to the Edinburg Police Department and was taken into custody and booked on a first-degree felony charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child, victim under 14.

A temporary suspension hearing with notice will be held as soon as practicable with 10 days’ notice to Mr. Martinez, unless the hearing is specifically waived by Mr. Martinez.

The temporary suspension remains in place until the Board takes further action.
