A home daycare in Nueces County is regulated by Texas HHSC under Human Resources Code Chapter 42, not the county. A registered family home may care for up to six children under 14, plus up to six more after school, capped at 12 children total.
Texas Health and Human Services Commission Child Care Regulation licenses and registers home-based child care under Human Resources Code Chapter 42 and the minimum standards in 26 TAC Chapter 745/747. A 'family home' provides care in the caretaker's own residence for not more than six children under 14 (excluding the caretaker's own), plus up to six additional elementary children after school, never exceeding 12 at once. Larger operations need a licensed child-care-home permit. Counties cannot zone, so unincorporated Nueces County adds no rule; Corpus Christi treats a licensed family home as a permitted residential use.
Operating a home daycare without required HHSC registration or licensing, or exceeding capacity, is a state violation subject to fines, corrective action and closure by Child Care Regulation.
