Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 164 reviews

Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Bacterial Panel

The clinic's panel runs hepatitis B antibody and surface-antigen testing together with hepatitis C antibody screening and a TB test, meaning a single visit produces results across viral and bacterial infections that are typically split across separate labs or appointments. Hepatitis B vaccination is also available on-site for those whose results call for it.

Spanish Spoken at Every Point of Care

Spanish is available throughout a visit at Total Point Urgent Care, so test counseling, results, and treatment instructions all come in the same language, which means nothing gets lost or misunderstood when a provider explains a medication regimen or follow-up timing.

STDs & HIV in Cass County: the local picture

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Cass County tests for syphilis.

Data & references

Local context

About Hughes Springs, TX

Trammel's Trace once marked a path through this part of East Texas, and the town that grew up around it still reflects the same close-knit character: households here tend to be family-sized, and nearly half of adults are married, which means health decisions rarely get made in isolation. When one person in a household puts off a screening, the calculus often involves work schedules, childcare, and a shared budget where the typical monthly rent already stretches thin. That budget reality matters. With most renters paying under $600 a month and unemployment running notably high, an out-of-pocket testing fee can feel like a genuine trade-off rather than a minor errand.

Labor-force participation is low enough that irregular or part-time work schedules are common, meaning clinic hours that assume a standard nine-to-five don't always line up with how people here actually move through a week. Young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a meaningful share of the population, and they're at the center of Cass County's STI burden. The county-level figures already on this page show why staying current matters, an exposure that goes undetected here doesn't stay contained to one household on 1st Street.

What each STD test costs

Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Confidentiality & consent in Texas

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Texas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
