Texas gives every licensing standard one of five risk levels, from low to high, by how likely a deficiency is to harm a child.

9. 09

   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.
