FAQ
Is this an official HHSC form set?
No. Official HHSC forms are free at hhs.texas.gov, and the kit points you to them. This kit is the organizing layer on top: the self-audit, calendar, trackers and logs that show you're meeting the standards day to day.
Do I need Microsoft Excel?
No. Every file works in Google Sheets and Google Docs as well as Excel and Word.
I run a center. Is this the right edition?
Get the Center edition (Chapter 746) instead, or the Center + Home Bundle if you run both.
How do I get the files?
Checkout is handled by Gumroad. You get a download link right after purchase, plus a copy by email.
