TX HHS Form 7261. Center Records Evaluation

The TX HHS Form 7261, Center Records Evaluation, is a crucial tool for child care providers to ensure that required documents are maintained at the operation for review by Child Care Licensing (CCL) staff. This form helps solve the problem of maintaining accurate and up-to-date records, which is essential for compliance with Texas Administrative Code regulations.

The form consists of various sections that require specific information, including facility name, date, children's records, medication records, infant feeding instructions, playground maintenance checklists, staff training records, pet vaccination records, safety documentation, director certification, employee attendance records, and more. The numbers in parentheses refer to corresponding sections in the Texas Administrative Code.

This form should be used by CCL staff and providers to confirm that required documents are current and available for review during inspections. The optional sections 746.801(11), (14), and (15) allow for the evaluation of standards evaluated by another state agency within the past year, which can help avoid duplicating efforts. By using this form, child care providers can demonstrate compliance with regulations and ensure a smooth inspection process.
