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 746.1205(a)(4) in October 2024, October 2025 and November 2025. The agency describes it this way: Supervision ensures each child?s safety, well-being, including physical proximity and auditory or visual awareness of each child?s on going activity. 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 746.5101(b) in November 2024, December 2024 and February 2025. The agency describes it this way: Annual Fire Inspection - Conducted by Fire Marshal. 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 745.621(a)(2) in September 2025 and April 2026. The agency describes it this way: AP Initial background checks submitted - At the time you hire someone. 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 746.1315(b) in May 2025 and May 2025. The agency describes it this way: Each Caregiver and the Director Must Have Current Training in pediatric CPR. 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 746.3407 in October 2024 and December 2024. The agency describes it this way: Maintenance of Building, Grounds and Equipment. 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 746.707 in October 2024 and November 2025. The agency describes it this way: Incident/Illness Report Form Shared with Parent. 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 746.1205(a)(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1205(a)(4): cited in three visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.5101(b) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Annual Fire Inspection - Conducted by Fire Marshal: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 745.621(a)(2) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 745.621(a)(2): cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.1315(b) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1315(b): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.3407 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Maintenance of Building, Grounds and Equipment: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.707 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Incident/Illness Report Form Shared with Parent: 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.
