However, restaurants may be inspected more frequently if inspectors find violations during a routine inspection or if the department receives a complaint from the public.
Unlike in other cities, Houston’s health inspectors do not use a 100-point scale to grade restaurants during inspections. Instead, restaurants start with a score of zero, and the score goes up depending on the severity of violations found. A score of four or five requires a reinspection, while a three is categorized as “at risk” and may require a re-inspection depending on the issues found, said Porfirio Villarreal, a public information officer for the Houston Health department.
Depending on the severity, some violations can be addressed immediately on-site, while others require reinspections. A critical violation score of 25 triggers an automatic closure in the health department’s system, Villarreal said.Restaurants are only included in the data when a violation is found during an inspection, Villarreal said, so the data does not reflect all inspections performed by the department’s inspectors throughout the year.
