Occupational Therapist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a occupational therapist in Texas?
You must hold a license issued by the Texas Executive Council of Physical and Occupational Therapy Examiners before you can practice in Texas. To qualify, you need a master's or doctoral degree in occupational therapy from an accredited program and a passing score on the NBCOT certification exam. After passing, you apply directly to the Council for your Texas license, which requires renewal every two years along with continuing education.
How much do occupational therapists make in Texas?
Occupational therapists in Texas earn a median of about $106,140 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,350 for the lowest 10% to over $135,200 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire occupational therapists in Texas?
Employers hiring occupational therapists in Texas right now include Memorial Hermann Health System, HealthPRO Heritage, and Baylor Scott & White Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and pediatric specialty networks are consistently among the most active, given the scale of their outpatient, inpatient, and school-based rehabilitation programs.
Which Texas cities have the most occupational therapist jobs?
Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio have the most occupational therapist openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas drive the bulk of demand through their large hospital systems and pediatric networks, while San Antonio's concentration of military-affiliated medical centers and CHRISTUS Health facilities creates steady openings across adult rehabilitation and long-term care settings.
Are there remote occupational therapist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is a hands-on clinical profession, so the majority of roles require in-person patient contact. About 1% of occupational therapist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in telehealth consultation, utilization review, or care coordination functions rather than direct treatment roles.
How can I get hired as a occupational therapist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or residency programs at major Texas health systems, several of which offer structured OT residencies in pediatrics and neurological rehabilitation. Baylor Scott and White Health and Texas Children's Hospital both run programs designed for candidates without post-graduation experience. Applying as an OT aide or rehabilitation technician while completing licensure is another common route, and candidates who hold their NBCOT credential and active Texas license before applying have a clear edge over those still awaiting results.
Where can I find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across hospital systems, outpatient clinics, school districts, and skilled nursing facilities. Find the roles that fit your experience and specialization, then apply directly through each listing.
