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

Ratios change through the day, so they are worth counting yourself on a visit.

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.
