State rule 746.2403(5) (minimum standards for child-care centers): "Infant Care Area - Space to Walk Between Cribs, Cots or Mats"
Inspector's note: During the walk through it was observed that one classroom with toddlers the nap mats were not spaced to allow the caregiver to walk without stepping over the children. There were children also under equipment and on equipment with their mats due to space. Note: Pictures were taken. This was corrected at inspection when the nap mats were rearranged.
Corrected while the inspector was there. The inspector gave technical assistance (advice on how to comply).

What the risk levels mean
Texas gives every rule a weight from High to Low, based on the risk to children when it is broken. A citation is one rule found not met at one visit. How to read a Texas inspection report.
- High risk: breaking it can put a child in immediate danger (for example supervision, ratios, safe sleep, background checks, prohibited punishment).
- Medium-high risk: a real safety or health concern, but usually less immediate (for example hazards in a room, missing medical or allergy information, required training).
- Medium risk: important for health and safety over time (for example records, drills, equipment upkeep).
- Medium-low risk: mostly paperwork or reporting that supports safety.
- Low risk: administrative requirements with little direct risk to children.
