Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Texas state license to work as a therapist here?+
Texas participates in the major therapy licensure compacts (PT Compact, OT Compact, and ASLP-IC). PTs, OTs, and SLPs holding a compact privilege from another member state can practice in Texas without applying for a separate state license — a major benefit for travel therapists and relocating clinicians.

Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists in Texas typically earn between $75,000 and $115,000 per year depending on specialty, setting, and experience. Travel therapy and home-health roles often pay at the top of that range, while school-based and outpatient roles for new grads start closer to the lower end. BCBAs typically earn $70,000–$95,000.
Are there travel therapy jobs available in Texas?+

Are there therapy jobs in Texas for new grads or therapists with no experience?+
Yes. Many outpatient clinics, school districts, and skilled nursing facilities in Texas hire new-grad PTs, OTs, and SLPs and offer mentorship programs. Entry-level ABA roles (RBT, BCaBA) with on-the-job training are also widely available statewide.
