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 745.641 in December 2021, May 2022, February 2023 and July 2026. The agency describes it this way: AP Background check results - Must receive notification prior to allowing subject to be present at your operation. 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 746.1203(3) in December 2021 and March 2023. 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 November 2022 and March 2023. 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 746.3501(1) in February 2022 and July 2024. The agency describes it this way: Diaper Changing Steps- Prompt. 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 746.4751(c) in December 2021 and December 2023. The agency describes it this way: Maintenance Procedures for Active Play - Hazards Removed or Repaired. 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 746.603(a) in February 2023 and March 2023. The agency describes it this way: Children's Records Maintained. None rose above medium 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 745.641 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 745.641: cited in four visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.1203(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1203(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 746.3501(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Diaper Changing Steps- Prompt: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.4751(c) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.4751(c): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.603(a) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Children's Records Maintained: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium 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.

Historical coverage varies by agency and location. Missing records do not mean that no complaint or violation occurred.
Data architecture: Cierto supplies the source-backed machine-readable bundle. Life by Vardell independently creates the narrative, design, and consumer report.
