Childcare centers in unincorporated Travis County must meet Texas HHSC licensing requirements alongside Chapter 64 building rules, ESD fire marshal inspection, and Travis County Health & Human Services environmental review.
Texas Health and Human Services Commission licenses centers under HRC Chapter 42. Facility plans require dedicated emergency egress, childproofed restrooms, fenced outdoor play areas, and approved fire alarm systems. ESD fire marshals conduct annual life-safety inspections. Travis County HHS evaluates well water, septic, and sanitation. Home-based daycares serving up to twelve children fall under separate registered childcare home rules but still meet basic safety standards. New construction must comply with the IBC E-occupancy or I-4 day-care provisions, including sprinklers when capacity exceeds threshold.
License suspension, daily civil penalties up to 1000 dollars, immediate evacuation orders for life-safety failures, and parental notification requirements under HRC 42.
