HHSC has changed child care rules ten times in the last two years — and it's drafting two more right now. RegWatch reads every change for you and sends a plain-English alert: what changed, what you must do, and by when.
This sends you one free sample — the latest real alert — so you can judge the product. Ongoing alerts are for members only (see below). Not legal advice — faster than legal advice.
It's not only rules that already passed: you get early word while HHSC is still working on a change — so when a parent asks how upcoming rules might affect their child, you're the director who already has the answer.
Right now HHSC is drafting two: new allergy-response epinephrine rules and updated background-check charts. See the Radar →
69% of licensed Texas centers — 6,558 of 9,554 — already have at least one high-risk deficiency on the public record parents search. Most are for rules the director never saw change. (Source: HHSC child care registry, July 2026.)
Never again learn about a rule change from an inspector. Everything below, for life:
25 of 25 seats left. Never re-offered at this price: after the 25, one last-call week at $399, then lifetime is retired forever. HHSC is drafting two new rules right now — the next change is already on its way. You'll hear about it from us, or from your inspector.
All three of my kids had great experiences in Texas child care. The center we loved most — the one that felt like family — was forced to sell after problems that could have been prevented. Watching those classrooms empty out over something preventable is what started RegWatch. Rules will keep changing; good directors shouldn't get blindsided by them.

"I already get HHSC's own emails."
They tell you a rule changed — in regulatory language, scattered across provider news, guidance letters, and the Texas Register. We read all of it every day and send one email a person can act on: what changed, what you must do, by when, and what the inspector will look for. See for yourself: every change of 2025–26, translated.
"What if nothing changes for months?"
Then you get no email — quiet means nothing is due. Texas has averaged a center-relevant change every 10 weeks for three years, and they come in bursts. The quiet stretch is exactly when directors get blindsided.
"Is this legal advice?"
No — faster. Every alert links the official HHSC source, so you (or your attorney) can verify in one click.
"Why is lifetime only $299?"
The first 25 founding seats fund the service and prove it. After seat 25, that price is retired permanently — this page will say so the day it happens.
