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 746.1601 in July 2022, April 2024 and April 2024. The agency describes it this way: Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children. 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 746.603(a)(4) in July 2022, September 2023 and July 2026. The agency describes it this way: Children's Records - Immunizations. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1011(a) in October 2024 and April 2025. The agency describes it this way: Director present-Minimum 75%. 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 746.603(a)(3) in July 2022 and October 2024. The agency describes it this way: Children's Records - Health Statement. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.901(1) in July 2022 and September 2023. The agency describes it this way: Required Personnel Records - Dates of Employment. None rose above medium-low 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 746.1601 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.603(a)(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Children's Records - Immunizations: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium risk.
What changed after 746.1011(a) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Director present-Minimum 75%: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.603(a)(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Children's Records - Health Statement: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium risk.
What changed after 746.901(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Required Personnel Records - Dates of Employment: cited in two visits, none above medium-low 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.
