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 746.1315(a) in August 2023, June 2025 and September 2026. The agency describes it this way: Each Caregiver and the Director Must Have Current Training in pediatric first aid with rescue breathing and choking. 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 746.1201(1) in March 2024 and August 2025. 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 746.1205(a)(4) in October 2024 and August 2025. The agency describes it this way: Supervision ensures each child?s safety, well-being, including physical proximity and auditory or visual awareness of each child?s on going activity. 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 746.1301(a)(5)(A) in August 2023 and October 2024. The agency describes it this way: Training Requirements for Employees, Caregivers, and Directors - 24 Annual training. 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 746.1315(b)(1) in September 2022 and January 2026. The agency describes it this way: CPR Training and Recertification Adhere to Guidelines-skill based. 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 746.1315(a) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1315(a): cited in three visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.1201(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1201(1): cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.1205(a)(4) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1205(a)(4): cited in two visits, including high-risk standards.
What changed after 746.1301(a)(5)(A) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 746.1301(a)(5)(A): cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 746.1315(b)(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?

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.
