Inspection history
From November 12, 2023 to November 12, 2026
- 7 inspections
- 4 investigations
- 5 citations from these visits (risk level: High 2, Medium High 1, Medium 2)
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 October 25, 2021 to June 12, 2026, newest first: 37 visits and 26 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.
