(a) A license holder may not relocate a
facility to another location without approval from the Texas Department of
Human Services (DHS). The license holder must submit a complete application and
the fee required under § 554.216 of Title 40 (relating to License Fees) to

the date all residents are relocated.
(e) The license holder must continue to
maintain the license at the current location and must continue to meet all
