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 746.1201(1) in October 2023, January 2026 and March 2026. The agency describes it this way: Responsibilities of Employees and Caregivers -Demonstrate Competency, Good Judgment, Self-control. 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 746.303(a)(4) in April 2026 and April 2026. The agency describes it this way: Report Change in Director. 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 746.901 in October 2025 and October 2025. The agency describes it this way: Required Personnel Records. None rose above medium 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 746.1201(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1201(1): cited in three visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.303(a)(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Report Change in Director: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.901 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Required Personnel Records: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium 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.
