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.
