Certified Medical Assistant Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a certified medical assistant in Texas?
Texas does not require a state-issued license to work as a certified medical assistant, but most employers require a nationally recognized credential. The most common path is completing an accredited medical assisting program, then passing the Certified Medical Assistant exam through the American Association of Medical Assistants to earn the CMA (AAMA) credential, or the Registered Medical Assistant exam through American Medical Technologists to earn the RMA. Accredited programs are offered at community colleges throughout Texas, including Houston Community College and Tarrant County College.
How much do certified medical assistants make in Texas?
Certified medical assistants in Texas earn a median of about $39,520 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $31,200 for the lowest 10% to over $49,260 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire certified medical assistants in Texas?
Employers hiring certified medical assistants in Texas right now include Houston Methodist, CHRISTUS Health, and Baylor Scott & White Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's high concentration of large integrated health systems and independent physician groups means consistent year-round hiring across both major metros and growing suburban markets.
Which Texas cities have the most certified medical assistant jobs?
Houston, San Antonio, and Austin have the most certified medical assistant openings in Texas. Houston drives volume through its massive Texas Medical Center and surrounding multispecialty clinic networks, Dallas-Fort Worth reflects the region's rapid population and healthcare infrastructure growth, and San Antonio's concentration of military-affiliated and community health facilities sustains steady demand outside the two largest metros.
Are there remote certified medical assistant jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of certified medical assistant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, since most of the role involves direct patient contact in a clinical setting. The portions most likely to shift remote are prior authorization support, patient care coordination, and telehealth intake roles at larger health systems that have built out virtual care programs.
How can I get hired as a certified medical assistant in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing an accredited medical assisting program with a clinical externship component, since that externship often converts directly into a job offer. Baylor Scott & White Health and CHRISTUS Health both run structured new-graduate onboarding tracks at their clinic sites. Candidates coming from adjacent roles such as patient access representative, medical receptionist, or pharmacy technician have a strong lateral-move case when paired with a CMA or RMA credential, which signals clinical readiness even without a long work history.
Where can I find and apply to certified medical assistant jobs in Texas?
