OT Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a ot in Texas?

To work as an ot in Texas, you must obtain a license from the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners, known as TBOTE. You need to complete a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited occupational therapy program and pass the NBCOT certification exam before applying for your state license. Once licensed, you must maintain continuing education requirements set by TBOTE to keep your license active.

Which companies hire ots in Texas?

Employers hiring ots in Texas right now include Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health, Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, and PAM Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and network of pediatric specialty hospitals generate some of the most consistent ot hiring across the state.

Which Texas cities have the most ot jobs?

Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas have the most ot openings in Texas right now. Houston's concentration of major medical centers and children's hospitals drives the largest share of postings, while Dallas and San Antonio support high volume through their extensive outpatient rehabilitation networks and large health system headquarters.

Are there remote ot jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is fundamentally a hands-on clinical profession, so most roles require in-person patient contact. About 35% of ot openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions are typically in telehealth triage, utilization review, or care coordination rather than direct therapy delivery.

How can I get hired as a ot in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a new graduate or Level II fieldwork position at a large Texas health system. Employers like UTHealth Houston, Baylor Scott and White Health, and CHRISTUS Health run new graduate programs and residencies designed for candidates without prior clinical employment. Applying for rehab technician or occupational therapy aide roles first gives you direct exposure to Texas clinical environments while you complete licensure. Having your NBCOT certification in hand before you apply significantly improves your candidacy.

Where can I find and apply to ot jobs in Texas?

You can find and apply to ot jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Find roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
