TX HHS Form 7266. Notification of Abuse. Neglect or Exploitation Deficiency

The TX HHS Form 7266, Notification of Abuse, Neglect or Exploitation Deficiency, is a crucial document used to inform parents/guardians of an identified minimum standard deficiency in child care operations. This form helps solve the problem of ensuring that parents are aware of any deficiencies and can take necessary actions.

The form requires key information such as operation name, number, and address, as well as details about the abuse, neglect or exploitation deficiency, including the date it was cited and the specific chapter or regulation involved. The permit holder, director/administrator, or designee must complete this form in its entirety, send a copy to each parent/guardian of children currently attending or residing at the operation, and keep a copy on file for review by Child Care Regulation.

This form should be used when an abuse, neglect or exploitation minimum standard deficiency is identified during a child care regulation inspection or investigation. The operation may request an administrative review if they disagree with the cited deficiency, which can result in the deficiency being overturned and notification to parents.
