Child Care Licensing Data Book- Residential
Child Care Licensing Statistics- Fiscal Year
2018
Data Book Information
The Data Book is a descriptive statistical resource of the services provided to the people of the State of Texas by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for fiscal year 2018 (September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018).
Information in this book covers the most frequently asked statistical questions about
HHSC Residential Child Care programs. Our hope is that it will be beneficial in answering these questions and serve as a continuous resource.
The Data Book provides information in several types of charts using different time intervals and it provides county, regional, and statewide totals. Due to rounding of
calculations, some percentages may not add to 100%.
When comparing data from one time period to another, please keep in mind that HHSC has undergone major changes over time. There have been re-alignments, major policy changes, and automation of case management and reporting that have
all influenced the data. In some cases this can make direct comparisons across the years misleading.
The below statistical tables are an overview of Residential Child Care Licensing operations and HHSC’s involvement with those operations. HHSC is granted its
authority to regulate child-care facilities and child-placing agencies by the Texas Legislature in Chapter 42 of the Texas Human Resources Code. The purpose of
regulation is to protect a group of class of children by establishing and enforcing statewide minimum standards.
Data received by Texas Health and Human Services were prepared by Center for Analytics and Decision Support at HHSC.
For questions about these tables and processing of these reports, please email HHSC Center for Analytics and Decision Support at [email protected]. For additional
data and information requests, please email HHSC Open Records at [email protected]. Data for abuse and neglect allegations in
Child Day Care Licensing operations can be found at DFPS Data Book. This Data Book contains 24 (twenty-four) pages including a table of contents,
beginning on page 2.

from an Illegal Operation or Exemption Request to a permitted operation type would be included in counts for both operation types. The
Unduplicated Count represents the unique operations regardless of change of operation type. Inspections conducted as part of an

* An inspection may be conducted at an Agency foster home to determine whether the Child Placing Agency managing the foster home is
compliant in its verification, monitoring and management of the foster home and the children in care.
** Count includes inspections at all General Residential Operations other than Residential Treatment Centers. Residential Treatment
Centers, which are a subset of General Residential Operations, are counted separately.
