Houston metro: child care permit records, last 30 days

A close look at Houston metro (Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston and nearby counties) from October 13 to November 11, 2026: where in the region the records cluster, and what kind.
47 child care permit records: 23 new operations got their first state permit (an Initial permit) and 24 moved from an Initial permit to a full permit. By type, 45 were child care centers and 2 were licensed child-care homes (counted, never named).
That’s 30% of the 155 statewide in the same 30 days.
Separately, Texas HHSC registered 23 new child-care homes in the same window. A registered home is a small day care in someone’s own house, usually filed under the owner’s name, so we give the count only, never names or addresses. They aren’t in any other count here.
