CCR identified a reason set forth in Human Resources Code, Section 42.078.

The operation fails to pay an administrative penalty under Human Resources Code, Section 42.078.

The applicant:

• has had a permit for a child care operation revoked by another state; or
• is barred from operating a child care operation in another state for reasons like those that would cause CCE to take adverse action.

The applicant has had a permit revoked, suspended, or terminated by another HHSC agency as outlined in Texas Government Code, Chapter 531, Subchapter W (relating to Adverse Licensing, Listing, or Registration Decision).

A controlling person associated with the operation that is applying for a permit has had a permit denied or revoked by another HHSC agency for a substantive reason.

The CBCU identifies a background check match or possible match that makes a permit holder or applicant ineligible to be present at the operation.

Note: When a non-relative listed family home fails to submit a five-year background check by the due date CCR staff process an automatic action, and do not take an enforcement action, Reference 7810 Automatic Suspensions and 7820 Automatic Revocations.

The operation has:

• a single serious deficiency of a statute, administrative rule or minimum standard;
• several deficiencies that create an endangering situation; or
• a repetition or pattern of deficiencies.

The operation fails to comply with liability insurance requirements.

The operation fails to follow conditions or restrictions placed on a person’s presence at an operation.

Reference 26 TAC Sections 745.631 and 745.637

The operation fails to pay required fees other than an annual permit fee.

CCR staff process an automatic action, not take an enforcement action, when the operation does not pay the annual permit fee.

The permit holder of a registered or listed home fails to notify CCR staff within 15 days after a change in location.

The permit holder of a licensed home fails to notify CCR staff at least 15 days before a change in location.

Reference 3800 Handling Changes in an Operation, Type of Permit, Location, and Ownership

As a result of a public hearing, CCR determines that:

• the community has insufficient resources to support the children the operation proposes to serve;
• issuing the license or amending the permit would adversely affect the children the operation proposes to serve as outlined in 26 TAC Section 745.340(2); or
• issuing the license or amending the permit would have a significant adverse impact on the community and would limit opportunities for social interaction for the children that the operation proposes to serve.
