What’s available in Mineral Wells
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth

Which rules apply to you
Mineral Wells spreads across 2 counties, and most of it sits in Palo Pinto County. That matters more than it sounds: county lines can decide which offices, school district, and local Medicaid contacts you deal with, so it's worth confirming which county your address actually falls in.
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.
