Physical Therapy Assistant Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapy assistant in Texas?
To become a physical therapy assistant in Texas, you must graduate from a CAPTE-accredited associate degree program and pass the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs. You then apply for licensure through the Texas State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners, which requires submitting transcripts, exam scores, and a background check. Texas does not recognize licenses from other states automatically, so out-of-state candidates must apply through the board's standard licensure process before practicing.
Which companies hire physical therapy assistants in Texas?
Employers hiring physical therapy assistants in Texas right now include Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, CHRISTUS Health, and ATI Physical Therapy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and specialized rehabilitation networks tend to hire across multiple settings, including outpatient clinics, acute care hospitals, and home health programs throughout the state.
Which Texas cities have the most physical therapy assistant jobs?
San Antonio, Dallas, and Fort Worth have the most physical therapy assistant openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its sheer size and concentration of major hospital systems and rehabilitation networks, while Dallas-Fort Worth draws significant hiring through its orthopedic and sports medicine clinics, and San Antonio's large veteran and military-connected population sustains strong demand in long-term care and rehabilitation facilities.
Are there remote physical therapy assistant jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy assistant work is inherently hands-on and requires direct patient contact, which limits remote opportunities significantly. About 4% of physical therapy assistant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be administrative, care coordination, or telehealth-support roles rather than clinical positions involving direct therapy delivery.
How can I get hired as a physical therapy assistant in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate positions at large Texas rehabilitation networks like Encompass Health or CHRISTUS Health, which regularly bring on licensed PTAs without prior clinical employment. Completing clinical rotations at a Texas facility during your associate program is a strong foot in the door. Candidates who come from roles such as physical therapy aide or rehabilitation technician are especially competitive, and holding a current Texas PTA license before applying removes the most common hiring barrier.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
