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 §19.201(f) of this title (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.
