26 Tex. Admin. Code § 554.2206 - General Requirements for a Certified Facility
(a) Resident admission. The facility must
admit and retain only residents whose needs can be met through service from the
facility staff, or in cooperation with community resources or other providers
under contract.
(b) Allowable
number of residents. Each certificate must specify the maximum allowable number
of residents to be cared for at any one time in the certified area. No greater
number of residents must be kept in the certified area than is authorized by
the certificate.
(c) Nullification
of certificate. When a certificate becomes null and void, the facility must
remove the certificate from display and advertising, and the certificate must
be surrendered to DADS on request. A certificate is nontransferable and
nonassignable; therefore, a certificate existing at the time of change of
ownership becomes null and void.
(d) Display of certificate. A certificate
must be displayed in a prominent location for public view. The facility may
advertise as long as the certificate is in effect; however, the type of
advertising must be such that the advertising can be withdrawn if the
certificate becomes null and void. Upon removal of the certificate it is the
responsibility of the facility to inform interested persons of the revised
status. The certificate is the property of DADS.
(e) Cancellation of certificate. A
certificate must be canceled if DADS finds that the certified unit is not in
compliance with applicable laws and rules.
(f) Effective period of certificate. An
initial certificate that is based on an application submitted to DADS on or
after January 1, 2014, or a renewal certificate that has an effective date on
or after January 1, 2014, is valid for three years.
