Chronology
Every visit in the record window, newest first. A deficiency is a licensing standard Texas inspectors found was not met. HHSC publishes what an investigation cited, not what the report to it alleged.

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 746.3407(9) in June 2023, June 2023 and September 2024. The agency describes it this way: Floors, ceilings and Walls in Good Repair and Clean. 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 746.2426(a)(1) in June 2023 and October 2024. The agency describes it this way: Infant May Not Sleep in a Restrictive Device. 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 746.303(b) in January 2023 and January 2024. The agency describes it this way: Report Number of Employees. None rose above medium-low risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.3407 in October 2023 and August 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.
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 746.3407(9) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Floors, ceilings and Walls in Good Repair and Clean: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.2426(a)(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Infant May Not Sleep in a Restrictive Device: cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.303(b) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Report Number of Employees: cited in two visits, none above medium-low 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 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.
