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 746.2207(c)(1) in April 2024, April 2024 and May 2024. The agency describes it this way: Screen Time Activities - Related to Planned Activities. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1609 in April 2024 and May 2024. The agency describes it this way: Maximum Group Size 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 746.2207(c)(3) in April 2024 and May 2024. The agency describes it this way: Screen Time Activities - Not Exceed One Hour Daily. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.4913 in January 2024 and August 2024. The agency describes it this way: Required Documentation for Unitary Surfacing Materials. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.5205(1) in August 2024 and February 2025. The agency describes it this way: Fire Drill Monthly - Exit in 3 Minutes. 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
Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.
What changed after 746.2207(c)(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Screen Time Activities - Related to Planned Activities: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium risk.
What changed after 746.1609 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Maximum Group Size 13 or More Children: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.2207(c)(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?

What changed after 746.5205(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Fire Drill Monthly - Exit in 3 Minutes: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high 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.
