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 746.4901(a) in November 2021, October 2022 and November 2022. The agency describes it this way: Active Play Surfacing In Use Zones - Loose Fill or Unitary Surfacing. 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 746.801(6) in October 2022, November 2022 and December 2022. The agency describes it this way: Required Records Maintained and Made Available - Liability Insurance. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1309(d) in May 2024 and November 2025. The agency describes it this way: Documented Annual Training - Caregivers of Children Under 24 Months Required. 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 746.2805(3) in February 2024 and September 2025. 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.
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 746.4901(a) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.4901(a): cited in three visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.801(6) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.801(6): cited in three visits, most seriously at medium risk.
What changed after 746.1309(d) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1309(d): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.2805(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Prohibited Punishments - Grabbing and Pulling: 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.
