When I am not representing nurses before the Texas Board of Nursing, I try to find time to give information on my three blogs: , , and
I also try to find time to write articles and give seminars on nursing law and documentation dangers. What can I say, I am an attorney so I love to talk.

Are you a nurse who has been reported to the Board of Nurses?
I have been an RN for 40 years. I never thought that I could be accused of nursing malpractice by a disgruntled family member. Despite there being no basis for the accusation, I faced this dilemma. After talking with Attorney Mackay, I immediately felt reassurance that my situation was promisin...

Taralynn was a God-Send
Taralynn responded immediately to my initial inquiry for legal representation in response to a Board of Nursing Proposed Order.

So glad she was on my side!
I am a nurse practitioner in Texas. Working with the BON is never easy or fun. After 18 months, I decided I needed help. I did a lot of research on lawyers and thought Taralynn Mackay would be a good choice. She contacted me within 24 hours and got to work on my case. She quickly got things acco...

The best attorney in Texas!
Being notified about a mistake I made is being sent to the BON made me terrified. Taralynn Mackay helped that fear go away. She was with me every step of the way, and always answered emails very quickly. When she wasn't able to, her assistant did a fantastic job at answering. Taralynn explained thing...

A Gift From God!
Taralynn is a blessing to have in your corner. I had so many questions and she didn't hesitate to answer any of many questions. It didn't happen often, but if she didn't know the answer she would find out and get back to me. She even advised me on practical things to do once I get licensed such as g...
"If you are looking for a subject matter expert in nursing regulation in Texas, Taralynn is a sure bet. She understands the personalities and posture of Texas agencies like the BON, and she has the experience to provide wise counsel. From Board negotiations to a SOAH merits hearing, she is a fantastic advocate for her clients."
"Outstanding attorney. I've worked with her on both sides of the docket for over two decades. A tenacious advocate. Practical, hardworking, honest, and reliable. Extremely well versed in the licensing and defense of nurses in the state of Texas. Experienced litigator; Particulalry knowledgeable of the rules of evidence and a skilled tactician. Board certified in Administrative Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Top notch by any standard."
"Taralynn is more than just another attorney who passionately represents her clients - personally, she is also a great mentor. When I started out as a new attorney (many would say I am still a new attorney, but I digress), Taralynn was supportive of my efforts to serve nurses in Texas with the same high professional standards that she exemplifies. I believe that I would not be the attorney I am today if it was not for the advice Taralynn has offered whenever I have needed the assistance."
"Taralynn is well-known and highly respected for her passionate defense of nurses before the Texas Board of Nursing. A true professional!"
"I have known Taralynn Mackay for 16 years. I have found her to be one of the most knowledgable attorneys in Texas when it comes to the Board of Nurse Examiners. She has made numerous successful appearances before the agency. The staff knows and respects her. She is known both in Texas and nationally as an educator for nurses and the law."
