Which of the following can lead to a referral to TDLR's endorsement division?

A referral to TDLR's endorsement division is typically associated with situations where serious violations have occurred that suggest a failure to adhere to established regulations, such as sanitation rules. When there are violations of sanitation rules, it indicates that there may be a risk to public health and safety, which can trigger an investigation or referral process.

The TDLR, or Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, takes any breaches of health and safety standards very seriously. This ensures that licensed professionals maintain the required standards of practice. Such referrals often lead to further scrutiny of the licensee's conduct and may result in disciplinary actions, further education requirements, or, in severe cases, suspension or revocation of a license.

On the other hand, voluntarily reporting a violation and documenting sanitation procedures indicate a proactive approach to compliance and safety, which generally would not lead to a referral. Regular compliance with inspection reports also reflects adherence to the necessary regulations and standards, promoting a safe environment rather than leading to negative consequences.
