Licensed centers receive at least one unannounced inspection per year. Newly licensed operations are inspected more frequently during their first year. Complaint-based inspections occur at any time and are always unannounced.

Background checks

All owners, directors, caregivers, and employees must pass a name-based criminal history check through the Texas Department of Public Safety and an FBI fingerprint check. A search of the Texas sex offender registry and the central abuse and neglect registry (DFPS) is also required before employment.
