EIREVBENAGIE OBAZEE V. TEXAS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

— STAFF
Here, the ALJ concluded that HHSC met its burden of proof on the question of neglect based on evidence that Obazee was aware that J.W. required one-to-one supervision but failed to exercise the appropriate level of supervision while J.W. was in his care.

Texas Court of Appeals, 15th District · affirmed

Whether substantial evidence supports finding that leaving a resident needing one-to-one supervision alone is reportable neglect.
