Integrity Urgent Care in Cleburne runs STI testing through an urgent-care model: appointments required, with gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, and herpes on the panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and fees billed to Medicare or insurance, with care available in Spanish.
Plenty of clinics serve Spanish-speaking patients through workarounds, a separate line, a third party patched in after the fact. Integrity Urgent Care delivers care directly in Spanish, so the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and follow-up happens in real time, with whoever is in the room.
Integrity Urgent Care tests for herpes simplex and both hepatitis B and C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Useful for anyone without a regular provider who needs a single appointment to cover a wider range of exposures rather than piecing together separate visits.

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Fort Worth runs on a sliding-scale fee structure and accepts insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and both rapid and conventional HIV testing. Bacterial infections treated same visit, by appointment.
Spanish is a working clinical language here, and interpretation services extend that reach to additional languages. That operational capacity means medical history, treatment options, and prevention counseling (PrEP, PEP, HPV vaccine timing) are conveyed directly, without a relay.
Title X federal designation carries a concrete legal consequence: services for minors are confidential by statute, not by policy preference. That protection applies across the full scope of care (testing, treatment, family planning, and prevention) at this Fort Worth location.
Clinics that test for HIV frequently stop there, leaving prevention prescriptions to primary care or infectious disease practices that may have long waits. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, keeping prevention continuous rather than deferred.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hood County, the county that includes DeCordova, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#212 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 17% of the state
| Infection | Hood County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 171.2 116 cases ▼ 65% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 33.9 23 cases ▼ 81% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3 2 cases ▼ 80% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.9 4 cases ▼ 78% | 26.4 | 16 |

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Hood County, chlamydia has fallen from 212.7 to 171.2 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has fallen from 64.9 to 33.9 per 100,000 (48%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 11.4 to 3 per 100,000 (74%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Hood County.
Local HIV snapshot
Hood County HIV care continuum (2020)
Hood County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hood County residents living with HIV, 81% are in care · 74.7% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Hood County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Acton State Historic Site sits just off the roads that knit DeCordova together, a quiet landmark in a community where the vast majority of households are long-rooted homeowners, and where health decisions tend to be made as a unit rather than individually. With more than four in five adults married and a household structure built around shared routines, conversations about routine screening often depend on two people's schedules aligning, not just one. That dynamic shapes access in a practical way. Nearly half the population is outside the labor force (retirees, caregivers, people whose days run on rhythms other than a nine-to-five) while those who do work are almost universally employed.
Twenty-listed options gives residents real scheduling flexibility, which counts for a lot when a round-trip to a clinic isn't a quick errand. Hood County's STI figures are worth keeping in mind even in a community this settled. Younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties, represent a smaller slice of DeCordova's population than in many Texas towns, but they're the years when exposure risk is highest and routine testing most consequential. Staying current means those numbers stay numbers, not personal history.
Getting there
At 6.76/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in DeCordova generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Texas law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In Texas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Texas permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
