No, there is currently no law anywhere in the United States I am aware of nor any state therein that requires doctors, attorneys or dentists to carry malpractice insurance.

It is totally up to the that professional whether or not to carry malpractice insurance and what limits they may or may not desire to carry.

What license is required to sell health insurance in Texas?

For an Insurance agent who wish to sell insurance products (Life and Health or Property and Casualty) in Texas, you must take a Texas Insurance Licensing Exam to get your Life and Health or Property and Casualty insurance license. These two types of insurance have their own kind of license so if you want to sell both then you'll need to get two different licenses. By the way, aspiring insurance adjusters are only required to take a Property and Casualty insurance licensing exam in Texas(claim adjusters don't sell Life and Health insurance). Other than enrolling in a local school for your insurance licensing in Texas, you can also take Texas Insurance Licensing Online Exam or Texas Adjusters License Online Exam.
