Question on RX for controlled substances

[Kp love]

I received a fax for Xanax from Dr's office, and it was electronically/digitally signed.
Is it still valid? I thought it would only be valid if manually signed and faxed to us.

Thanks in advance.
And also, I'm in AZ

In AZ, I have no idea. In Illinois it is, provided the doctor has registered & had his electronic signature approved .

In tx, no.

I believe DEA requires a "wet signature"
