Inspection History

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

03

Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

No citation repeats across the 15 visits in this window, and no deficiency is waiting on a verified correction. That is what the record shows; it is not a judgment of care. The questions that follow still apply.

    04

    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.

    1. 01

      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.

    2. 02

      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.

    05

    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.
