What’s available in Jersey
A center is a normal commute from here
Houston is about 13.5 miles away, which is a school-run sort of distance rather than an expedition. Families in Jersey can realistically use a center for peer and classroom-readiness goals while keeping in-home sessions for the routines that only happen at home.

Which rules apply to you
Jersey is one of 28 incorporated places in Harris County, a county of about 5 million people. The county's largest is Houston, about 13.5 miles away.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Texas Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Texas, and Texas’s autism insurance law reaches private plans issued in the state. Your address changes which providers can reach you — it doesn’t change whether you’re covered.
