Texas Daycare Report: week of November 2, 2026

What the public records showed across seven Texas regions from Monday, November 2 through Sunday, November 8, 2026.
29 child care permit records: 14 new operations got their first state permit (an Initial permit) and 15 moved from an Initial permit to a full permit. By type, 22 were child care centers and 7 were licensed child-care homes (counted, never named). That’s 14 fewer than the week before (43).
Separately, Texas HHSC registered 7 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.
