Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025

(a) A license expires three years after the date it is issued. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission does not automatically renew a license. For a license to remain in effect after its expiration date, a license holder must apply to renew the license in accordance with this section.

(b) To renew a license, a license holder must submit to HHSC a timely and sufficient application to renew the license through the online portal. A license holder has submitted a timely and sufficient application to renew a license if:

(1) the license holder submits the following to HHSC so HHSC receives it no later than the 45th day before the license expires:
(A) the fee required by § 551.19(a)(1) of this subchapter (relating to License Fees); and

(B) one of the following:
(i) a complete application; or

(ii) an incomplete application with a letter explaining the circumstances that prevent the license holder from including the missing information; or

(2) the license holder submits the following to HHSC so HHSC receives it during the 45-day period ending on the date the license expires:
(A) the fee and documentation described in paragraph (1)(A) and (B) of this subsection; and

(B) the late renewal fee described in § 551.19(a)(4) of this subchapter.

(c) If HHSC receives an application that is submitted before the submission deadline, the application is considered timely.

(d) Regardless of whether HHSC sends advance notice that a license is expiring, providers are responsible for applying to renew their licenses in a timely manner. Furthermore, operating a facility without a license is a violation of state law.
