Tex. Labor Code § 313.002: LOCATION OF CARE.

(a) Except as provided by Subsections (b) and (c), relative child care must be provided in the child-care provider's home.

(b) The commission shall allow relative child care in the child's home:

(1) for a disabled child and the child's siblings;

(2) for a child under 18 months of age and the child's siblings;

(3) for a child of a teen parent; and

(4) when the parent's work schedule necessitates child–care services during the evening, overnight, or on the weekend and taking the child outside of the child's home would be disruptive to the child.

(c) The commission may allow relative child care in the child's home if the commission determines that other child-care provider arrangements are not available in the community.
