Texas is big. Psychiatry appointments are scarce.
Most Texas counties have few or no practicing psychiatrists, so families in smaller cities and rural areas often drive hours for an appointment that a video visit could handle. That gap hits ADHD especially hard, because evaluation and follow-up both take time with a clinician.
DaniCare's ADHD evaluations happen by secure video with patients located anywhere in Texas. The goal is diagnostic clarity: finding out whether ADHD explains what you or your child are dealing with, or whether anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or a learning difference is a better explanation.
Who the evaluation is for
Adults
- Deadlines missed despite real effort
- Starting projects and rarely finishing
- Losing track of bills, keys, appointments
- Restlessness or impulsive decisions
- Suspecting undiagnosed childhood ADHD
Children & teens
- Teacher notes about focus or behavior
- Homework that takes hours longer than it should
- Trouble sitting still or waiting a turn
- Grades that do not match their ability
- Frustration and shrinking confidence at school
For children and teens, a parent or guardian takes part in the appointments.
How to get tested for ADHD in Texas: step by step
There is no state registry or single gateway for ADHD testing in Texas. In practice, getting an answer follows the same five steps whether you start with a primary care doctor or come straight to a psychiatrist:
Decide who will evaluate you
A psychiatrist, psychologist, or in some cases a primary care clinician can evaluate ADHD. A psychiatrist can both diagnose and manage medication, which avoids a second referral later.
Check licensure and location
For telehealth, the clinician must be licensed in the state you are physically in during the appointment. DaniCare's psychiatrists are licensed in Texas, New York, and New Jersey.
Book the evaluation
Request an appointment and ask up front what the evaluation includes, what it costs, and whether your insurance applies. Our team answers all three before you book.
Gather your history
Bring current medications, any previous evaluations, and examples of where symptoms cause problems. For a child, bring report cards and teacher comments.
Attend the evaluation and review the report
The assessment looks at attention, focus, memory, and symptoms across settings, and screens for conditions that mimic ADHD. You receive a written report, then review it with your psychiatrist and agree on next steps.
No referral is needed to request an evaluation with DaniCare — you can start directly.
How an online ADHD evaluation works
Request an evaluation
Fill out the short online form and select Texas. Our team contacts you within one business day to schedule and answer questions.
Comprehensive assessment by video
We review attention, focus, memory, and symptoms, how they affect school, work, and home, plus personal and family history and conditions that can look like ADHD.
Detailed written report
You receive a clear report of the findings and recommendations that you can keep and share with a school or another clinician.
Psychiatrist review and plan
Your psychiatrist incorporates the report into a full psychiatric evaluation, explains the results, and discusses treatment options with you.
Visits must take place while you are physically located in a state where DaniCare's psychiatrists are licensed: Texas, California, New York, or New Jersey.
What happens after a diagnosis
- Medication management with stimulant or non-stimulant options and scheduled follow-ups.
- Care for what often accompanies ADHD: anxiety, depression, or insomnia.
- Practical strategies for focus, organization, and time management.
- Guidance for parents on school supports such as a 504 plan.
If medication is appropriate, your psychiatrist will explain prescribing and follow-up requirements. Rules for prescribing some ADHD medications by telehealth can change, and DaniCare follows current federal and state requirements.

Why Texans wait for ADHD care
The shortage is not evenly spread: in much of Texas there is simply no psychiatrist to see.
- 170Texas counties had no licensed psychiatrist in 2023. Texas DSHS via Texas Tribune
- 246 of 254Texas counties are wholly or partly designated as federal mental health professional shortage areas. Texas DSHS via Texas Tribune
- 1 per 11,758residents is the statewide ratio of psychiatrists to Texans. Texas DSHS via Texas Tribune
Figures verified September 2026. Telehealth does not fix a workforce shortage, but it does remove the drive.

Online ADHD evaluation in Texas: frequently asked questions
How do I get tested for ADHD in Texas?
Choose a clinician who can diagnose ADHD (a psychiatrist can also manage medication), confirm they are licensed in Texas, book the evaluation and ask what it includes and what it costs, gather your history and any previous evaluations, then attend the assessment and review the written report with your psychiatrist. No referral is needed to start with DaniCare — call (956) 266-8476.
Is an online ADHD evaluation legitimate?
Yes. The evaluation follows the same clinical process as an in-person visit: a structured review of symptoms, how they affect daily life, and personal and medical history, with a psychiatrist involved. You receive a written report either way.
Do I have to live in Texas?
You need to be physically located in Texas, California, New York, or New Jersey at the time of each appointment, because that is where DaniCare's psychiatrists are licensed.
What equipment do I need?
A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a stable internet connection, and a private place to talk. Our team sends you the link and walks you through it before the appointment.
Can children be evaluated online?
Yes. Children and teens can be evaluated by video with a parent or guardian taking part. Report cards and teacher feedback are useful to have on hand.
Can ADHD medication be prescribed by telehealth in Texas?
If medication is appropriate after a full evaluation, your psychiatrist explains the prescribing and follow-up requirements. Rules for prescribing some ADHD medications by telehealth can change, and DaniCare follows current federal and state requirements.
Does insurance cover it?
Coverage varies by plan. Our team explains current pricing for the evaluation before you book. Ongoing psychiatric care is available with plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Medicare, Medicaid (including Superior), Molina, Ambetter and TRICARE.
