Ask a Psychiatrist
Can a psychiatrist prescribe medication over video in Texas?
Yes. A Texas-licensed psychiatrist or psychiatric NP can evaluate you by video and send most prescriptions to your pharmacy the same day. SSRIs and other daily medications have no special hurdles (HHS explains the telehealth basics here).

Controlled substances carry extra rules that currently run through December 31, 2026, with 2027 still undecided. We unpacked that in plain English here. Lyte is hybrid on purpose: video anywhere in Texas, in person in DFW, so no rule change ever strands your prescription.
