Inspection history
From November 12, 2023 to November 12, 2026
- 3 inspections
- 1 assessment
- 1 citation from these visits (risk level: Medium Low 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 December 8, 2021 to August 26, 2026, newest first: 7 visits and 2 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)
There was a storage closet attached to the playground which was in need of repair. The bottom of the door to the closet was detached/unhinged, and there was paint and old playground equipment in the closet which was accessible to children due to the closet being damaged and unlocked. The wood at the base of the door frame was rotten, and there were exposed nails/screws as well. Photos were taken.
