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

Patterns Worth Examining

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

1
Director Responsibilities - Operate in Compliance, Cited in Two Visits
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1003(1) in September 2022 and September 2022. The agency describes it this way: Director Responsibilities - Operate in Compliance. 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.

2
Citation 746.1203(3), Cited in Two Visits
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1203(3) in September 2022 and September 2022. The agency describes it this way: Responsibilities of Caregivers - Know Children's Names and Ages. None rose above medium-high risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children, Cited in Two Visits
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1601 in September 2022 and June 2023. 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.

For Your Next Visit

Questions to Ask on Your Visit

Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

01
What changed after 746.1003(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Director Responsibilities - Operate in Compliance: cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
02
What changed after 746.1203(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1203(3): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
03
What changed after 746.1601 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
04
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.
05
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.

Coverage

Record windowNovember 1, 2021 – October 31, 2026

This record is HHSC's list of operations as of October 2026, with the inspections, investigations and assessments in HHSC's files, which run from November 2021.
Listed family homes (one caregiver with up to three unrelated children, listed with HHSC but not inspected on a schedule) are not in this record.
HHSC's narrative for each deficiency is left out because it can name children, parents and staff; the rule cited, its risk level and the correction dates are kept.

What This Report Cannot Tell You

Inspector narratives: Published by HHSC but left out of this record because they can name people.
Enforcement actions: HHSC's files say whether an operation is under corrective or adverse action, not what the action was.
Complaints not investigated: Reports HHSC screened out without an investigation are not published.
Staff qualifications and turnover: Not part of the published licensing record.

Historical coverage varies by agency and location. Missing records do not mean that no complaint or violation occurred.

Data architecture: Cierto supplies the source-backed machine-readable bundle. Life by Vardell independently creates the narrative, design, and consumer report.
