| (a) After you ensure the safety of the child, you must
notify the parent immediately after a child:
(1) Is injured and the injury requires medical attention
by a health-care professional;
(2) Has a sign or symptom requiring exclusion from
the child-care home as listed in Subchapter R of this chapter (relating
to Health Practices);
(3) Has been involved in any situation that placed
the child at risk. For example, forgetting a child in a vehicle or
not preventing a child from wandering away from your child-care home
unsupervised; or
(4) Has been involved in any situation that renders
the child-care home unsafe, such as a fire, flood, or damage to the
child-care home as a result of severe weather.

when the parent picks the child up from your child-care home. Less
serious injuries include, but are not limited to, minor cuts, scratches,
and bites from other children requiring first-aid treatment by caregivers.
(c) You must notify all parents of children in the
child-care home within 48 hours when any child in your care, a caregiver,
or a household member has contracted a communicable disease deemed
notifiable by the Texas Department of State Health Services as specified
in 25 TAC Chapter 97, Subchapter A (relating to Control of Communicable
Disease).
