Since it began operations Aug. 3, the site had been operating in the parking lot of Dr Pepper Ballpark. The new site, which is being funded by the Texas Division of Emergency Management, is located at the northwest corner of Technology Drive and World Cup Way.
The site has the capacity to perform as many as 1,000 tests per day.
The free saliva tests are available to anyone, regardless of county or city of residence, though advance registration is required at https://texas.curativeinc.com.
Appointments are available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
A video with instructions on the testing process is available here. The video states those wishing to be tested should not eat, drink, smoke or brush their teeth for 20 minutes before taking the test. The FDA-approved test is an observed self-collected test, which means participants are given the testing materials and instructions to collect their own sample while they remain inside their vehicles.
Curative Inc. reports that its test has an 89% accuracy rate. Participants receive results within two to four days, according to a city news release.
