RULE §554.2106Revocation of a License

(a) DADS may revoke a facility's license when the license holder, or any other person described in §19.201(f) of this title (relating to Criteria for Licensing), has:

  (1) violated the requirements of the Health and Safety Code, Chapter 242, or the rules adopted under that chapter, in either a repeated or substantial manner;

  (2) committed any act described in §19.2112(a)(2) - (6) of this title (relating to Administrative Penalties); or

  (3) failed to notify DADS of a significant adverse change in financial condition, as required under §19.1925(b) of this title (relating to Financial Condition).

(b) Revocation of a license may occur simultaneously with any other enforcement provision available to DADS.

(c) The license holder will be notified by certified mail of DADS' intent to revoke the license, including the facts or conduct alleged to warrant the revocation, with a copy being sent to the facility. The license holder has an opportunity to show compliance with all requirements of law for the retention of the license as provided in §19.215 of this title (relating to Opportunity to Show Compliance). If the license holder requests an opportunity to show compliance, DADS gives the license holder a written affirmation or reversal of the proposed action.

(d) The license holder will be notified by certified mail of DADS' revocation of the facility's license, with a copy being sent to the facility. The license holder has 15 days from receipt of the certified mail notice to request a hearing in accordance with the Health and Human Services Commission's formal hearing procedures in 1 TAC, Chapter 357, Subchapter I. The revocation will take effect when the deadline for appeal of the revocation passes, unless the license holder appeals the revocation. If the license holder appeals the revocation, the status of the license holder is preserved until final disposition of the contested matter. Upon revocation, the license must be returned to DADS.
