Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The department may deny, suspend, or revoke a license for a violation of this chapter or a rule adopted under this chapter.
(b) The denial, suspension, or revocation of a license by the department and the appeal from that action are governed by the procedures for a contested case hearing under Chapter 2001, Government Code.
(c) If the department finds that a facility is in repeated noncompliance with this chapter or rules adopted under this chapter but that the noncompliance does not endanger public health and safety, the department may schedule the facility for probation rather than suspending or revoking the facility's license. The department shall provide notice to the facility of the probation and of the items of noncompliance not later than the 10th day before the date the probation period begins. The department shall designate a period of not less than 30 days during which the facility remains under probation. During the probation period, the facility must correct the items that were in noncompliance and report the corrections to the department for approval.
(d) The department may suspend or revoke the license of a facility that does not correct items that were in noncompliance or that does not comply with this chapter or the rules adopted under this chapter within the applicable probation period.
