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 746.1201(1) in June 2024, July 2025 and April 2026. The agency describes it this way: Responsibilities of Employees and Caregivers -Demonstrate Competency, Good Judgment, Self-control. 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 746.2415(b) in September 2022 and May 2023. The agency describes it this way: AP Cribs - Only Snug Fitting Sheet and Crib Mattress Cover Allowed if Infant Younger than 12 Months of Age. 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 746.2419(6) in September 2022 and September 2022. The agency describes it this way: Requirements for Feeding Infants - Label Bottles/Cups. 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 746.2419(7) in September 2022 and May 2023. The agency describes it this way: Requirements for Feeding Infants - No Walking or Sleeping with Bottle or Cup. 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 746.1201(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1201(1): cited in three visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.2415(b) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.2415(b): cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.2419(6) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Requirements for Feeding Infants - Label Bottles/Cups: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.2419(7) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.2419(7): 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.
