Licensed Prosthetist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed prosthetist in Texas?
You must obtain a license from the Texas State Board of Orthotics and Prosthetics before practicing clinically in the state. The path requires graduating from a CAAHEP-accredited master's-level prosthetics and orthotics program, completing a supervised residency, and passing the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics or Board of Certification written and patient-management examinations. After passing, you apply directly to the Texas board for your state license.
How much do licensed prosthetists make in Texas?
Licensed prosthetists in Texas earn a median of about $77,220 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $47,390 for the lowest 10% to over $107,100 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed prosthetists in Texas?
Employers hiring licensed prosthetists in Texas right now include CHRISTUS Health, Optum, and LifeStance Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's dense concentration of VA medical centers, rehabilitation hospital networks, and large private O&P practice groups means consistent year-round openings across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most licensed prosthetist jobs?
Houston, San Antonio, and Tyler currently post the most licensed prosthetist openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas drive volume through their large academic medical centers, Veterans Affairs facilities, and regional Hanger Clinic and other O&P group locations, while San Antonio benefits from a major military and veteran population that sustains steady prosthetics demand at both BAMC-affiliated programs and independent practices.
Are there remote licensed prosthetist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Prosthetics is a hands-on clinical discipline requiring direct patient fitting and follow-up, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 7% of licensed prosthetist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those roles are almost entirely in clinical education, telehealth follow-up coordination, or sales and technical support rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a licensed prosthetist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to the formal residency programs that large Texas employers run for new graduates, particularly at Hanger Clinic's Texas-based residency sites and VA Texas facilities that partner with accredited programs. New graduates can also target associate prosthetist or clinical fellow roles at multi-location O&P practices in Houston and Dallas while completing residency hours. Holding an active or pending Texas State Board of Orthotics and Prosthetics license application and ABC or BOC candidacy status gives early-career candidates a meaningful edge in the screening process.
