Supervision & ratios Serious
During a review conducted on May 27, 2026 it was determined that: (1) the Administrator failed to ensure compliance with the current HM Plan; and (2) 12 months had elapsed since the effective date of the plan. The heightened monitoring plan for this operation included a specific ?planned end date? at the 12-month mark by which the operation was expected to meet all heightened monitoring criteria necessary to move out of active heightened monitoring to a phase of ?post plan monitoring?. As a direct result of the administrator?s failure to ensure timely compliance with the heightened monitoring plan, this operation is now unable to successfully move to post-plan monitoring. Furthermore, the operation?s ?planned end date? must now be revised, and the period of heightened monitoring must be extended again. Further details of the administrator?s failure to ensure compliance include the following: Operation was unable to meet compliance with Medium-High or High weighted licensing citations, including having an open investigation. Finding: 748.535(2) ? The licensed administrator must ensure the operation complies with current heightened monitoring plan. An administrative penalty will be assessed as a result of this citation, in accordance with the Texas Human Resources Code Sec. 42.078, but the administrative penalty will be probated pending the results of any open investigations. If a penalty is assessed, the penalty amount will be $150.
HHSC 748.535(2) — AP Child-care administrator responsibilities- Ensure the operation complies with current heightened monitoring plans, if applicable.

Illness & medication Serious
During a review conducted on November 25, 2025, it was determined that: (1) the Administrator failed to ensure compliance with the current HM Plan; and (2) 12 months had elapsed since the effective date of the plan. The heightened monitoring plan for your operation included a specific ?planned end date? at the original 12-month mark by which your operation was expected to meet all heightened monitoring criteria necessary to move out of active heightened monitoring to a phase of ?post plan monitoring.? As a direct result of the administrator?s failure to ensure timely compliance with the heightened monitoring plan, your operation was unable to successfully move to post-plan monitoring by the original ?planned end date? necessitating previous extension. Furthermore, due to your recent citation issued on November 10, 2025, your operation?s ?planned end date? must now be revised again, and the period of heightened monitoring must be extended again. Further details of the administrator?s failure to ensure compliance include the following: Your operation received a medium high weighted citation in a pattern/trend category on November 10, 2025. Specifically, the operation was cited for 748.2151(c)(5) Medication record - must include date (day/month/year) & time each medication was administered. The operation met compliance on November 24, 2025. - Operation failed to satisfy the conditions of the plan. - Operation failed to demonstrate 6 months of successive compliance with the standard and contract requirements that led to heightened monitoring; and - Operation was unable to meet compliance with medium high and/or high weighted licensing citations. Finding: 748.535(2) ? The licensed administrator must ensure the operation complies with current heightened monitoring plan.
