III. FINDINGS OF FACT
Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Finding of Fact 1: On August 6, 2024, the Appellant was admitted into the nursing facility.
Finding of Fact 2: On January 16, 2025, the nursing facility issued the Appellant a
Residents Affected - Few
notice of discharge due to nonpayment.
Finding of Fact 3: The Agency did not provide the Texas Administrative Code to
support the discharge; therefore, did not meet their burden of proof.
IV. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1 TAG §357.9 states the burden of proof in a fair hearing regarding a specific issue
is proof by a preponderance of evidence. The party that bears the burden of proof
meets the burden if the stronger evidence, on the whole, favors that party, as
determined by the Hearings Officer. The Agency or its designee bears the burden of
proof in this case.
Based on the findings of fact and applicable authority, the Hearings Officer concludes
that:
Conclusion of Law 1: Because the Agency Representative did not provide the
necessary policy to support the discharge, and based on 1 TAG §357.9, Agency failed.
to meet its burden of proof. Therefore, the Agency action is REVERSED.
