Lactation consultant licensing in Texas

No lactation-consultant licence identified in Texas. What it does have is a Medicaid position worth knowing about — see below.

No licence identified

What we found

• Texas does not license or certify lactation consultants, so the title is unrestricted there.
• The practical question in an unregulated state is whether a lactation consultant can bill your insurance, and for Medicaid that is a separate policy question with a real answer.

What this means if you are looking for help

The title tells you nothing in Texas — check the IBCLC credential yourself. But the Medicaid position below may matter more to what you can actually access.
