High risk A person may not be at the operation until their background check result has come back and allows it.
State rule 745.641 (licensing rules for every operation): "Background check results - Must receive notification prior to allowing subject to be present at your operation"
Inspector's note: An employee did not have required background check and was allowed to care for children. The employee's background check was inactive at the time of the inspection. This was corrected when the caregiver left the operation.
Corrected while the inspector was there. The inspector gave technical assistance (advice on how to comply).
In the year before that (Nov 12, 2023 to Nov 12, 2024): 2 visits and 1 citation. Older history is on the official record.
What the risk levels mean
Texas gives every rule a weight from High to Low, based on the risk to children when it is broken. A citation is one rule found not met at one visit. How to read a Texas inspection report.
- High risk: breaking it can put a child in immediate danger (for example supervision, ratios, safe sleep, background checks, prohibited punishment).
- Medium-high risk: a real safety or health concern, but usually less immediate (for example hazards in a room, missing medical or allergy information, required training).
- Medium risk: important for health and safety over time (for example records, drills, equipment upkeep).
- Medium-low risk: mostly paperwork or reporting that supports safety.
- Low risk: administrative requirements with little direct risk to children.
