Haven Health in Amarillo requires an appointment, so scheduling before you arrive is the move, and that single visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, plus TB, with bacterial STIs treated the same day on a sliding-scale fee. Spanish-language care is on staff.
Haven Health carries Spanish as a staffed clinical function: history-taking, counseling, and treatment instructions happen directly in Spanish through providers or clinical staff, not routed through a secondary service. That operational reality means nothing gets compressed or abbreviated when English isn't the working language of a visit.
Haven Health's panel runs to ten tests: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C, plus TB. That hepatitis breadth means all three types are identified rather than leaving hepatitis A or C to a separate appointment elsewhere.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Randall County, the county that includes Timbercreek Canyon, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~14% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#62 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 76% of the state
| Infection | Randall County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 412.1 611 cases ▼ 16% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 130.9 194 cases ▼ 26% | 176.4 | 179.5 |

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 Randall County, chlamydia has risen from 100.2 to 412.1 per 100,000 (311%), gonorrhea has risen from 40.5 to 130.9 per 100,000 (223%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.1 to 14.8 per 100,000 (605%).

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 Randall County.
Local HIV snapshot
Randall County HIV care continuum (2023)
Randall County recorded 12.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Randall County residents living with HIV, 85.2% are in care · 71.6% 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 Randall County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
FM 1541 cuts through a community where nearly every household owns its home: the kind of settled, long-tenured place where people tend to put down roots and stay. That stability shapes daily life in ways the numbers around homeownership only hint at: when close to seven in ten adults are married and households average just over three people, health decisions often ripple outward to partners and children, making routine screening less of a personal errand and more of a shared responsibility. For younger adults in Timbercreek Canyon, those still in the years when STI transmission tends to peak and relationships are actively forming, that distance can be the thing that delays a test by weeks.
Randall County's STI picture adds weight to that delay. Nearly four in ten households here earn well above six figures, which means cost is less often the barrier than time and geography. Knowing that the nearest listed clinic is a deliberate drive, not a spontaneous stop, is worth factoring into any household's calendar before the need feels urgent.
Getting there
At 6.38/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Timbercreek Canyon 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.
