Texas Child Care Watcher — New Licensed Centers

Licensed Texas child care centers from Texas HHSC Child Care Regulation's official open data — newly licensed facilities plus the state's own inspection and deficiency profile for every center, in one clean feed.

What you get

One row per licensed center: name, business location, county, capacity, ages served, programs provided, permit issuance date and type, subsidy acceptance — plus the compliance profile HHSC publishes: deficiency counts by severity (high / medium-high / medium / medium-low / low) with an arithmetic total, lifetime inspection / assessment / report counts, and the corrective-action, adverse-action and temporary-closure flags.

Who it's for

• Child care franchisors and multi-site operators tracking new competition and market openings
• Insurers and lenders underwriting child care facilities
• Suppliers (food service, playgrounds, curriculum, staffing) selling to new centers in their first months
• Parent-information and child care referral services keeping directories current

Filters

• Counties / city / ZIP prefix — watch exactly your market
• Issued within days — e.g. only centers licensed in the last 90 days (~150/month statewide)
• Minimum capacity, accepts subsidies only
• Watch flags only — only centers with a corrective action, adverse action or temporary closure
• Only new since last run — schedule it and receive just the centers licensed since the previous run

Safety and data notes

• Commercial centers only, by design. The HHSC file also lists home-based child care and residential operations located at private residences. Those operation types are hard-excluded in this actor's code and can never be selected — only Licensed Center facilities at business locations are delivered.
• The feed's person fields (administrator/director name, phone, mailing address) are never requested and never appear in the output.
• Deficiency and inspection counts are HHSC's published figures for the operation, passed through as reported; the only computed field is the sum of the five deficiency counts. Counts are cumulative as published by the state, not a per-year rate, and this actor does not invent a risk score.

Pricing

Pay per facility delivered — $0.01 per center, charged only for rows written to your dataset after filtering.
