Inspection history
From November 12, 2023 to November 12, 2026
- 6 inspections
- 2 investigations
- 3 citations from these visits (risk level: High 2, Medium 1)
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 May 10, 2022 to March 5, 2026, newest first: 20 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.

746.1205(a)(1) - Responsibilities of Caregivers - Know children responsible for
Risk level: High · Correct-by date in the state file: September 26, 2023 · Correction verified: October 3, 2023 · Inspector gave guidance (technical assistance): Yes
Inspector's notes (as published)
Based on information gathered in the investigation it was determined the caregiver of a child left unattended in the classroom did not notice the child was missing when they got to the playground and during their time outside. They did not realize the child was missing from the group until they were alerted by someone picking up a child. This substantiates that the caregiver did not know which children (or how many) they were responsible for. Information gathered indicated transition protocols were not followed.
