Texas gives every licensing standard one of five risk levels, from low to high, by how likely a deficiency is to harm a child.
Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.2207(a) in December 2024, December 2024 and March 2025. The agency describes it this way: Screen Time Activities - Not Used for Under Two. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1601 in December 2024 and February 2025. The agency describes it this way: Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children. None rose above medium-high risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.3407 in June 2024 and July 2025. The agency describes it this way: Maintenance of Building, Grounds and Equipment. None rose above medium-high risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.3417(3) in December 2024 and March 2025. The agency describes it this way: Children Handwashing After Toileting or Diapering. None rose above medium-high risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
For Your Next Visit
Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.
What changed after 746.2207(a) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Screen Time Activities - Not Used for Under Two: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium risk.
What changed after 746.1601 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.3407 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Maintenance of Building, Grounds and Equipment: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.3417(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Children Handwashing After Toileting or Diapering: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What is the ratio in the room my child would join, and how is every child accounted for at nap time, pickup and on the playground?
Ratios change through the day, so they are worth counting yourself on a visit.
Has the center ever been under corrective or adverse action, and what changed afterward?
HHSC’s files name no enforcement action in this window. They say whether a program is under corrective or adverse action, not what the action was.
