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 744.2669 in December 2022, December 2022 and January 2025. The agency describes it this way: Food Allergy Plan-Emergency plan for diagnosed child, signed by health care professional and parent. 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 744.3559(1) in February 2023 and March 2023. The agency describes it this way: Fire Drill Monthly - Exit in 3 Minutes. 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 744.605(11) in February 2023 and March 2023. The agency describes it this way: Required Admission Information-Physician Information. 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 744.2669 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation 744.2669: cited in three visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 744.3559(1) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Fire Drill Monthly - Exit in 3 Minutes: cited in two visits, most seriously at medium-high risk.
What changed after 744.605(11) was cited, and how do you check it now?
Required Admission Information-Physician Information: 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.
