The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) decided to revoke the DEA Certificate of Registration for Dr. Willard J. Davis, a doctor in Texas, because he lost his state license to practice medicine, which means he can no longer handle controlled substances legally in Texas. The Texas Medical Board suspended Dr. Davis's medical license on May 16, 2024, and it remained suspended at the time of the decision. Since having a valid state medical license is necessary to maintain DEA registration for dispensing controlled substances, his registration was revoked, and any pending applications related to the registration were denied. This decision will be effective starting April 28, 2025.
Simple Explanation
Dr. Willard J. Davis can't be a doctor anymore because his permission to practice medicine was taken away, so he's not allowed to give out special medicine drugs anymore either.
