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

A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

   HHSC inspectors cited 746.901 in October 2025, November 2025, December 2025 and May 2026. The agency describes it this way: Required Personnel Records. None rose above medium risk. Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
