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 746.603(a)(4) in October 2022, October 2023, September 2024 and October 2024. The agency describes it this way: Children's Records - Immunizations. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1045 in September 2024 and October 2024. The agency describes it this way: Education Outside of U.S. None rose above low risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
HHSC inspectors cited 746.1203(3)(A) in September 2024 and September 2024. The agency describes it this way: Administrative and clerical duties that take caregiver's attention away from children. 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 746.1601 in May 2022 and November 2024. The agency describes it this way: Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children. 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(2) in September 2024 and September 2024. The agency describes it this way: Prohibited Punishments - Associated with Food, Naps, or Toilet Training. 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 746.3415(13) in January 2023 and February 2023. The agency describes it this way: Employee Handwashing After Removing Gloves. 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 746.603(a)(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Children's Records - Immunizations: cited in four visits, most seriously at medium risk.
What changed after 746.1045 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Education Outside of U.S: cited in two visits, none above low risk.
What changed after 746.1203(3)(A) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1203(3)(A): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.1601 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Child/ Caregiver Ratio - 13 or More Children: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.2805(2) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.2805(2): cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.3415(13) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Employee Handwashing After Removing Gloves: 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.
