If HHSC finds that a center is in repeated noncompliance with THSC Chapter 248A, this chapter or a plan of correction, but the noncompliance does not endanger a minor served at a center or the public health and safety, HHSC may schedule the center for probation rather than suspending or revoking the center's license.

1. (1) HHSC provides notice to the license holder of the probation and the items of noncompliance not later than the 10th day before the date the probation period begins.
2. (2) HHSC designates a period of not less than 30 days during which the center remains on probation. During the probation period, the center must correct the items that were in noncompliance and report the corrections to HHSC for approval.
3. (3) HHSC may suspend or revoke the license of a center that does not correct items that were in noncompliance or does not comply with THSC Chapter 248A or this chapter within the applicable probation period.
