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 23, 2021 to October 9, 2026, newest first: 20 visits and 17 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.

During this investigation, this standard was cited due to staff using poor judgement when using a small elastic hair band to hold the socks up on an infant. This action caused the infant to sustain skin depression from the tightness around their ankles. Pictures received for this investigation revealed the use of a small elastic hair band placed around the top area of the sock by the ankles causing the elastic band imprint.
