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 746.1701 in April 2022, November 2022 and April 2023. The agency describes it this way: Child/Caregiver Ratio - 12 or Fewer Children. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1203(4) in August 2022 and December 2022. The agency describes it this way: Responsibilities of Caregivers - Supervision of Children. 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 746.1301(5)(A) in December 2022 and December 2022. The agency describes it this way: Training Requirements for Employees and Caregivers - 24 Annual Training. 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 746.2911 in August 2022 and November 2022. The agency describes it this way: Adequate Lighting During Naptime. 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 746.4907(a)(1) in December 2022 and April 2025. The agency describes it this way: Installation and Maintenance of Loose-fill Surfacing - Six Inches if Equipment 5 Ft or Less. 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 746.4907(d) in November 2021 and March 2022. The agency describes it this way: Installation and Maintenance of Loose-fill Surfacing - Proper Depth Maintained. 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 746.1701 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Child/Caregiver Ratio - 12 or Fewer Children: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium risk.
What changed after 746.1203(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Responsibilities of Caregivers - Supervision of Children: cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.1301(5)(A) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1301(5)(A): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.2911 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Adequate Lighting During Naptime: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.4907(a)(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.4907(a)(1): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.4907(d) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.4907(d): 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.
