| (a) If the Texas Health and Human Services Commission
(HHSC) finds that a facility is in repeated noncompliance with the
Act or this chapter but that the noncompliance does not endanger public
health and safety, HHSC may place the facility on probation rather
than suspending or revoking the facility's license.
(b) HHSC shall provide notice to the facility of the
probation and of the items of noncompliance not later than the 10th
day before the date the probation period begins.
(c) HHSC shall designate a period of not less than
30 days during which the facility remains under probation.
(d) During the probation period, the facility shall
correct the items of noncompliance and report the corrections to HHSC
for approval.
(e) HHSC may verify the corrective actions through
an on-site inspection.
(f) HHSC may suspend or revoke the license of a facility
that does not correct items of noncompliance or that does not comply
with the Act or this chapter within the applicable probation period.
