26 Tex. Admin. Code § 745.8849

Current through Reg. 49, No. 45; November 8, 2024
Section 745.8849 - Can an administrative law judge address multiple decisions and actions during a single due process hearing?

An administrative law judge (ALJ) appointed by the State Office of Administrative Hearings may address multiple decisions and actions that are related to each other during a single due process hearing. For example, if the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has decided to revoke an operation's license based on an abuse finding made by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), the ALJ may address these matters during the same hearing. However, the ALJ's final decision must include determinations for both DFPS's finding of abuse and HHSC's revocation of the operation's license.
