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 746.1205(a)(4) in May 2023, July 2025, August 2026 and August 2026. The agency describes it this way: Supervision ensures each child?s safety, well-being, including physical proximity and auditory or visual awareness of each child?s on going activity. 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 746.901 in November 2024, November 2024 and August 2026. The agency describes it this way: Required Personnel Records. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1205(a)(2) in August 2026 and August 2026. The agency describes it this way: Responsibilities of Caregivers - Know number of children responsible for. 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 746.1601 in August 2026 and August 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 746.305(a)(6) in May 2023 and July 2025. The agency describes it this way: Report Situation Placing Children at Risk. 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 746.5603(c) in November 2024 and November 2024. The agency describes it this way: Types of Vehicles Used to Transport Children - Be Maintained Safely. 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 746.1205(a)(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1205(a)(4): cited in four visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.901 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Required Personnel Records: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium risk.
What changed after 746.1205(a)(2) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1205(a)(2): cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
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 746.305(a)(6) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Report Situation Placing Children at Risk: cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.5603(c) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.5603(c): 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.

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.
