Call the dispensing pharmacy for all clarifications or corrections. Only they can make corrections to their information. The correction on the prescription must then also be reported by that pharmacy to the Texas PMP.
You have several options:
Occasionally, multiple individuals will show up on a single patient report. This most often occurs when both parties have the same birth date or same street name or when there are multiple pieces of overlapping information and the system is unable to isolate one unique patient. This is common with twins and when two people in the same household have the same or similar names (father/son Jr., Joan and John, Michelle/Michael). Contact the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, provide the name (with proper spelling) and date of birth of the patient, and for assistance. We are not able to separate patients from inter-state requests. Each patient will have a state identifier in the name box indicating from which state's PMP the data was pulled.
The prescription records submitted by dispensing pharmacies or facilities can sometimes contain errors. These errors require correction before being accepted into the database and are subject to the reporting timelines of the pharmacy. It could also be that the criteria you are searching does not match the patient records. If you believe this is an error, please contact the helpdesk either by calling the toll-free number located in the upper and lower right corners of this screen for assistance or click the 'contact us' button to submit a ticket.
MyRx gives users who have a DEA number associated with their account the ability to run a self-report to see what prescriptions have been filled where they were listed as the prescriber.

Law enforcement officers are permitted to request reports on a patient when the patient is the subject of an open investigation involving a drug crime.
Pharmacies are required to report prescription information to the Texas PMP within one day of the date the drug was dispensed. Taking into account the time required to process that information and prepare it for reporting, the prescription information should be available within a few days of the dispensing date.
The Texas PMP allows prescribers and pharmacists to designate an unlimited number of delegates to access patient prescription data and generate reports on their behalf. Every individual is required to register as a separate user, however all delegate queries are attributed to the prescriber or pharmacist for whom they generate the report. Eligible prescriber delegates include nurses, medical residents, administrative staff, etc. Pharmacists may only delegate this responsibility to Pharmacy Technicians. The use of delegates saves time for prescribers and pharmacists, and can be helpful in integrating use of the Texas PMP into workflows.
A prescriber/supervisor may have as many delegates as they are comfortable supervising in the appropriate use of the Texas PMP. A delegate may be a delegate for multiple prescribers/supervisors.
The delegate begins the process by going to "My Profile" on their account. The delegate will enter the supervisor's email address. Once this has been done, the supervisor account will be prompted to approve the delegate.
