Miss one rule change and Texas can fine your center up to $1,000 a day — and post the violation where every parent can see it.
HHSC changed child care minimum standards five times in the last two years. 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.
What an alert looks like
What changed: Under HB 2789 (HHSC letter PGL-26-11001), every licensed center must now carry liability insurance — or notify every parent in writing that it doesn't. What you must do: 1) Confirm your liability policy is active and meets the requirement. 2) If you're not covered, send the required written notice to all parents and keep proof on file. By when: Effective January 13, 2026 — already in force. Risk if ignored: A cited deficiency on your public record — visible to every parent who searches your center.
Why not just read the Texas Register yourself?
Rule adoptions are scattered across HHSC provider news, the Texas Register, and revision memos.
They're written for lawyers. Your alert is written for a director with 11 minutes at naptime.
We watch daily. Your license depends on it; our product is it.
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.)
