Athletic Trainer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an athletic trainer in Texas?
To work as an athletic trainer in Texas, you must hold a license issued by the Texas Advisory Board of Athletic Trainers, which requires graduating from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program and passing the Board of Certification exam. Applications and renewals are handled through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Most employers in Texas also expect candidates to hold a current CPR and AED certification before starting.
How much do athletic trainers make in Texas?
Athletic trainers in Texas earn a median of about $64,150 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $54,750 for the lowest 10% to over $99,480 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire athletic trainers in Texas?
Employers hiring athletic trainers in Texas right now include Crunch Fitness, Anytime Fitness, and Life Time, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's large university systems, major health networks, and professional sports franchises generate particularly consistent demand for licensed athletic trainers across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?
Austin, Houston, and Dallas have the most athletic trainer openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth lead because of their concentration of major health systems, professional sports teams, and large independent school districts, while Austin's expanding university presence and growing sports medicine sector drive demand there as well.
Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is a hands-on clinical and on-field role, so most positions require in-person coverage of athletes and patients. About 2% of athletic trainer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and the ones that qualify tend to involve administrative, consulting, or telehealth triage duties rather than direct athlete care.
How can I get hired as an athletic trainer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a clinical rotation or graduate assistantship embedded within a Texas university athletic program and converting that into a full-time offer. Large Texas health systems such as Baylor Scott and White Health and UT Southwestern run new-graduate onboarding programs for clinical athletic trainers. Candidates without experience often start as athletic training aides or physical therapy technicians at orthopedic and sports medicine clinics, then transition once they hold full BOC certification and a Texas license.
Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your credentials and experience level, and apply directly to the employer through the listing.
