| (a) After a survey in which a surveyor cited deficiencies,
an agency may surrender its license or allow its license to expire
to avoid enforcement action by HHSC.
(b) If an agency surrenders its license before the
expiration date, the agency must return its original license and provide
the following information to HHSC:
(1) the effective date of closure;
(2) the location of client records;
(3) the name and address of the client record custodian;
(4) a statement signed and dated by the license holder
agreeing to the surrender of the license; and
(5) the disposition of active clients at the time of
closure.
(c) If an agency surrenders its license or allows its
license to expire, HHSC denies an application for license by the agency,
its license holder, and its affiliate for one year after the date
of the surrender or expiration.
