Q: Hello, I inadvertently forgot to renew my home health license for the first time in over 18 years. Can I appeal?
My Home Health License was inadvertently not renewed for the first time in about 18 years. It expired on 09/30/2023. It is now being renewed every 2 years. It used to be every 3 years, and we used to get reminders to renew. Honestly, I do not know what happened this time. I was still expecting to get the paper renewal application or something. Bottom line is that i forgot. My oversight and i take full responsibility for it. But today 10/06/2023, I got a notification letter that the license expired and they want to shut my business down. I do not get a second chance or any opportunity to submit the application immediately. I agree that this was a costly omission on my part, and I also acknowledge that HHSC is not obligated to remind me to renew the license. It is my responsibility. Is this something I can appeal? This was not in anyway intentional, and I do not want to loss my license. Thanks
A: A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, one option might be to either research the issuing agency's conditions or to contact them for information and options. Good luck
