How Texas Licensed Master Social Worker license verification works

A Licensed Master Social Worker in Texas is licensed by the TX Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. When this board is live, PrimaryCheck will query it directly for status, expiration and disciplinary actions and attach the board's record as evidence. Until then the API answers honestly with unable_to_verify and the reason, and the coverage endpoint reports this row as blocked.

What a Licensed Master Social Worker license check returns

Field check	Passes when
`license_number`	Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Licensed Master Social Worker license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
`expires`	Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
`disciplinary_actions`	Recorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.

Social Work Licensure Compact and multistate Licensed Master Social Worker licenses

Licensed Master Social Worker licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Social Work Licensure Compact. When the Texas record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
