Texas gives every licensing standard one of five risk levels, from low to high, by how likely a deficiency is to harm a child.

A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

   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.
