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 744.1203(5) in November 2021 and September 2022. The agency describes it this way: Responsibilities of Caregivers - Children in Control. 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 744.3559(3) in November 2021 and May 2024. The agency describes it this way: Sheltering Drills for Lock-Down-4 times in a calendar year. 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 744.1203(5) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Responsibilities of Caregivers - Children in Control: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 744.3559(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Sheltering Drills for Lock-Down-4 times in a calendar year: 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.
