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 746.2805(3) in July 2023, October 2024 and October 2024. The agency describes it this way: Prohibited Punishments - Grabbing and Pulling. 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 746.2417(2)(B) in January 2023 and November 2024. The agency describes it this way: Activities for Infants - Not in Restrictive Device for more than 15 Minutes. 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.
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 746.2805(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Prohibited Punishments - Grabbing and Pulling: cited in three visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.2417(2)(B) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.2417(2)(B): cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
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.
