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.

Texas law guarantees parents the right to enter and observe their child's childcare operation at any time during hours of operation without prior notice. Inspection and investigation reports are publicly available through the HHSC search tool.

How to use this page
