1) Some counties in Texas have a TON of extra doses but not enough people to vaccinate.
If you're willing to go to Lumberton (population 11k) which is < 2 hours drive from Houston is taking walk-ins for 18+ yrs old

2) At the Journey Community Church
1534 Highway 96 South
Lumberton, Texas
1:00PM – 4:00PM, on Wednesday, April 7 thru Friday, April 9.
Only a certain # of ppl can be inside the clinic at a time, so if too many arrive at one time, they may have to wait outside

3) This is not limited to Hardin County residents. I personally got my first vaccine in a different town in Hardin County (and don't live there).
They explicitly say this in their materials. They just want to put shots in arms because they have so many extras & not enough ppl.

4) You also need to submit paperwork so the TX gov can track you.
But you can print and fill in forms ahead of time: newtools.cira.state.tx.us/upload/page/10…

5) They work like a machine. I got in and got my shot in < 2 minutes.
In fact, you have to fill out parts of your own vaccination card. That's how efficient they are -- they just focus on giving shots.

6) They do ask for ID & health insurance info though, so everyone with US health insurance can just show up at the time specified above.
But, if I were coming from abroad & didn't have US health insurance, I would probably call them to ask what happens if you don't have that.
