Criminal History Requirements for Child Care Operations

26 TAC §745.661 (relating to What types of criminal convictions may affect a person's ability to be present at an operation?) states that HHSC will review the three criminal history requirements charts with information regarding specific crimes that may affect a person's ability to be present at a child care operation annually to determine whether any changes are needed. HHSC will then publish any changes as an "In Addition" document in the Texas Register and make them available on the Child Care Regulation public website. The three charts are titled: (1) Licensed or Certified Child Care Operations: Criminal History Requirements; (2) Foster or Adoptive Placements: Criminal History Requirements; and (3) Registered Child Care Homes and Listed Family Homes: Criminal History Requirements.

On November 14, 2025, HHSC published the proposed changes to the charts in the Texas Register (50 TexReg 7447) and made them available on the Child Care Regulation public website. The written public comment period for the Texas Register publication closed on December 13, 2025. HHSC received one comment from one public commenter. The comment relates generally to all three charts. A summary of this comment and HHSC's response are as follows:

COMMENT: Commenter suggested that only convictions be subject to review, and not arrests, dismissed charges, or accusations. The commenter indicated that revoking permits based only on arrests, dismissed charges, or accusations is unlawful and can negatively affect a person's mental or physical health if there is a loss of employment, income, and reputation.

RESPONSE: HHSC disagrees with the comment and declines to revise the charts. HHSC has authority through Texas Government Code §411.114 to receive criminal history record information, which includes arrest records per §411.082. A valid arrest must be supported by probable cause, which Texas courts have described as a reasonable ground for belief of guilt that is particularized with respect to the person arrested. The severity of conduct constituting certain criminal offenses is concerning enough to preclude a person from being present in a regulated childcare facility while due process for the arrest is occurring. Accordingly, HHSC must be able to consider and act on recent arrests to ensure the safety of children in regulated childcare.

HHSC adopted the three Criminal History Requirements charts without changes to the proposed text as published in the November 14, 2025, issue of the Texas Register (50 TexReg 7447).
