Caring for children for pay in a Guadalupe County home requires a listing, registration, or license from Texas Health and Human Services under Human Resources Code Chapter 42. The county itself neither licenses nor zones home daycares in unincorporated areas.
Child care is regulated by the state, not the county. Human Resources Code Section 42.041 bars operating a child-care facility without a license from the department, a function administered by Texas Health and Human Services Child Care Regulation. Home-based care is tiered: a listed family home covers up to three unrelated children, a registered child-care home up to six (plus limited school-age children), and a licensed child-care home up to twelve, each with its own state requirements for background checks, safety, and inspection. Guadalupe County issues no separate daycare permit and cannot zone the use in unincorporated areas, though a city such as Schertz may apply its zoning inside its limits.
Operating an unlicensed or unregistered child-care home is a state offense; Texas Health and Human Services can order the home closed, seek civil penalties, and refer criminal charges under Chapter 42.
