The Texas Medical Board has issued a decision to suspend the medical license of Dr. An Q. Van, 42, a Houston-based physician, following his arrest in a case involving allegations of possessing child exploitation material, according to reports from Click2Houston and the Houston Chronicle.
Information indicates that Van was arrested on February 12, 2026, on state-level charges. He was subsequently released on an $80,000 bond. In March, authorities rearrested him on federal charges.
The investigation began when the National Center for Missing or Exploited Children (NCMEC) forwarded an alert to Houston police, based on a report from the Meta platform. From this lead, law enforcement conducted an investigation and searched the suspect's residence.
According to the Houston Chronicle, investigators seized more than 50 images suspected of being child sexual abuse material, which were stored on a hard drive hidden inside a toilet water tank at his private home.
The case continues to be processed through federal legal proceedings. Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the trial timeline or any additional charges.
