Top Dog
Zero state citations on record, no enforcement actions, fully licensed.
For facility owners & operators
Earned it? Show it.
Families check state records before they choose. A CaringWatchDog badge tells them in one look that your facility's Texas inspection record is clean. It's earned from state data, and nobody can buy one.
Three badges. One rule: the state record.
Best in Show
Zero state citations in the last 3 years, no enforcement actions.
Good Standing
1–3 state citations in the last 3 years, no enforcement actions.
Badges update automatically with each state record refresh. If a new citation or enforcement action appears, the badge changes or comes down, which keeps it worth trusting.

Common questions
- Can we pay to get a badge?
- No. Every badge is earned from Texas HHSC records. The license only gives you the right to display and promote a badge you already earned.
- What happens if we get cited?
- The badge is recalculated with every state record refresh. Your live seal shows your current status, and you can keep your license while you work to earn the badge back.
- Does paying change our rankings or reviews?
- Never. Rankings, citations and family reviews are the same for every facility.
