What these words mean5
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
- Texas’s risk levels
- Texas gives each child care deficiency a risk level, by how likely it is to harm a child: Low, Medium Low, Medium, Medium High or High. High is its most serious. Source: Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Child Care Regulation.
- Licence status
- Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
- Capacity
- The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

Interference with an investigation
The inspectors’ words, 100 words
“Throughout the duration of the investigation which began in October 2021, the provider has failed to cooperate with Child Care Regulation Unregulated Operations Inspectors at 16 attempted investigation inspections. Due to the providers lack of cooperation during the investigation, an Access Order was obtained on March 24, 2022, requiring the provider allow inspectors to inspect the home and review records. Multiple inspections were attempted on six different days, since the access order was issued, with law enforcement support, and the provider is still failing to cooperate with inspectors and continues to deny access to inspectors with confirmed children in care.”
-
AP Illegal Operation - Not Registered
“Throughout the course of the investigation, inspectors have observed at least four unrelated children in care.”

What the record doesn’t say
- Texas doesn’t publish whether a complaint was substantiated.
- Texas rates some paperwork slips as High risk, so read what was actually cited.
- Texas doesn’t publish staffing levels or owners for individual providers.
- Listed family homes rarely have an inspection on record in Texas’s data: most of what’s on record for this kind of home comes from reports to the state. No inspections on record doesn’t mean the home was checked.
