What’s available in Mart
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth
The nearest city of any size is Waco, roughly 21.2 miles away. That's a real trip twice a day, and for most families in Mart it means in-home ABA starts sooner and sticks better — with a center added later only if peer goals become the priority.

Which rules apply to you
Mart spreads across 2 counties, and most of it sits in McLennan 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.
