HOUSTON – Drive-thru testing for COVID-19 is available throughout Houston and across the state, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Many sites offer free testing, while others require payment or health insurance.
Most testing facilities have a pre-screening process, which varies based on the testing center. Residents are encouraged to call or visit the testing site’s official website, as screening criteria and operating hours may change.
