The initial license issued to a license holder who has not previously held a license is a probationary license and is effective for one year. A permanent license may be issued only after DHS finds that the license holder and any other person listed in § 554.201(f) of Title 40 (relating to Criteria for Licensing) continues to meet the nursing facility requirements and submits an application requesting a permanent license with the applicable license fee. The facility must also be able to pass an inspection unless an inspection is not required as provided by § 242.047, Health and Safety Code.
