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 746.1203(5) in July 2022, July 2022, August 2022 and February 2023. The agency describes it this way: Responsibilities of Caregivers - Children in Control. 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 June 2022, June 2022, July 2022 and September 2022. 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 746.2805(3) in August 2023 and May 2024. The agency describes it this way: Prohibited Punishments - Grabbing and Pulling. 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 746.3407(1) in July 2022 and August 2022. The agency describes it this way: Toys and Equipment to be Sanitized Set Aside. 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 746.1203(5) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Responsibilities of Caregivers - Children in Control: cited in four 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 four visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.2805(3) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Prohibited Punishments - Grabbing and Pulling: cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.3407(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Toys and Equipment to be Sanitized Set Aside: 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.

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.
