How do you become a neuropsychologist in Texas?
Becoming a neuropsychologist in Texas requires earning a doctoral degree in psychology from an APA-accredited program, completing an APA-accredited predoctoral internship, and then finishing a postdoctoral fellowship in neuropsychology. You must then obtain licensure from the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists, which requires passing the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology.

Texas's large academic medical systems and VA network consistently maintain neuropsychology departments, making them reliable sources of both staff and training positions across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most neuropsychologist jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Sugar Land have the most neuropsychologist openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas drive volume through their dense academic medical centers, Level I trauma centers, and VA facilities, while San Antonio benefits from its large military and veteran health infrastructure at institutions like Brooke Army Medical Center.

DeBakey VA Medical Center offer specifically for new doctoral graduates. Candidates can also pursue associate or staff psychologist roles that include supervised neuropsychological assessment. Holding Texas licensure or being close to eligibility, along with demonstrated experience in psychodiagnostic testing from graduate practica, gives applicants a clear edge at the hiring stage.
