FAQ's
Texas Child-Centered Care (T3C) is the credentialing framework developed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to improve the quality of care provided by foster care organizations. T3C evaluates policies, documentation, staffing, treatment models, quality improvement, and organizational performance to ensure providers meet Texas foster care standards and deliver better outcomes for children and families. Learn more here.
All licensed Texas foster care organizations must obtain T3C credentialing according to the implementation timeline established by legislation and enforced by HHSC. Credentialing demonstrates that an organization meets Texas Child-Centered Care standards for quality, safety, operations, and service delivery.
The T3C credentialing timeline varies based on your organization's readiness, documentation, staffing, and operational systems. Organizations with established policies and compliant documentation may complete the process more quickly, while others may require additional planning and preparation. Working with an experienced T3C consulting partner can help reduce delays and improve first-time approval readiness. Timelines vary but most applications are submitted to DFPS between 14 and 20 weeks.
Rock Solid Foundation provides end-to-end T3C consulting services, including readiness assessments, gap analysis, logic model development, policy and procedure creation, staffing documentation, treatment model selection, application preparation, documentation review, submission support, enhancement responses, and ongoing quality improvement guidance.
Yes. Many organizations contact us after beginning the T3C process and realizing they need additional guidance. We help identify documentation gaps, update policies, strengthen applications, and keep your credentialing process moving toward approval.
After submission, your application is reviewed by DFPS and YFT. If additional information or revisions are requested, known as enhancements, your organization must respond before credentialing can be finalized. Rock Solid Foundation helps prepare enhancement responses, update documentation, and support your organization until the credentialing process is complete.
A T3C consultant helps organizations understand complex credentialing requirements, avoid common mistakes, improve documentation quality, and build systems that support long-term compliance. Instead of navigating hundreds of pages of standards alone, organizations receive expert guidance through every phase of the credentialing process. Learn More.
