Inspection history

A citation means an inspector found a rule wasn't met at the time of the visit; many are corrected the same day. Read the official record for details.

Below is every visit in the state's files from November 15, 2021 to August 6, 2026, newest first: 14 visits and 11 citations in all, so the totals can be higher than the 3-year counts above. An investigation is a visit to look into a report or complaint; many find no citations. Risk level is the level Texas HHSC assigns to each rule, from low to high, as published. Technical assistance means the inspector gave guidance on the rule. The state's file does not say whether the "correct-by" date is a deadline or the day the problem was fixed, so it can fall after the verified date or in the future.

      Inspector's notes (as published)

      At the time of the inspection there were multiple hazards observed. At the front gate of the facility, that is an entrance to the facility and a gated play area, the latch is broken. This allows the gate to open freely and leaves a risk for children to be able to leave the area. In the older preschool play area a shed has been replaced. Along the side of the new shed there is a gap between the mulch and shed. The shed is stabilized on cinder blocks and there is a gap underneath the shed. This creates a space a child could crawl into, or an animal could easily burrow into. At an exit gate with steps down there is cracked and jagged concrete and a gap created due to erosion of dirt. This creates a gap between the ground and the bottom of the fence and a tripping hazard for children playing. Multiple water hoses were piled next to the building loosely.
