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 746.5101(b) in October 2025, January 2026, February 2026, March 2026 and July 2026. The agency describes it this way: Annual Fire Inspection - Conducted by Fire Marshal. 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 746.1003(1) in July 2026, August 2026 and October 2026. The agency describes it this way: Director Responsibilities - Operate in Compliance. The most serious of these was recorded at high risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1205(a)(3) in September 2025 and September 2025. The agency describes it this way: Responsibilities of Caregivers - Know children's names and ages. 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 746.1601 in February 2026 and May 2026. 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 746.201(9) in August 2026 and October 2026. The agency describes it this way: Complying with Laws and Rules. 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 746.3401(a) in August 2026 and October 2026. The agency describes it this way: Annual Sanitation Inspection. 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 746.5101(b) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Annual Fire Inspection - Conducted by Fire Marshal: cited in five visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.1003(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Director Responsibilities - Operate in Compliance: cited in three visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.1205(a)(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1205(a)(3): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high 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 746.201(9) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Complying with Laws and Rules: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.3401(a) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Annual Sanitation Inspection: 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.
