Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a registered respiratory therapist in Texas?
To work as a registered respiratory therapist in Texas, you must hold an active license issued by the Texas Medical Board, which requires completing an accredited respiratory therapy program and passing both parts of the National Board for Respiratory Care credentialing exams, the Therapist Multiple Choice and the Clinical Simulation Exam. Texas does not recognize an exam waiver, so the RRT credential is a firm requirement before licensure is granted.
How much do registered respiratory therapists make in Texas?
Registered respiratory therapists in Texas earn a median of about $79,540 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $61,310 for the lowest 10% to over $99,690 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire registered respiratory therapists in Texas?
Employers hiring registered respiratory therapists in Texas right now include Medical City Healthcare, Baylor Scott & White Health, and CHRISTUS Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of large nonprofit and for-profit health systems means most openings are within multi-hospital networks that hire across inpatient, outpatient, and home health settings.
Which Texas cities have the most registered respiratory therapist jobs?
Austin, Dallas, and Houston account for the largest share of registered respiratory therapist openings in Texas, driven by the density of major medical centers, teaching hospitals, and regional health system campuses in those metros. Smaller cities like Lubbock and Corpus Christi also generate consistent openings through their anchor regional hospitals, which often serve large rural catchment areas and maintain steady respiratory therapy staffing needs.
Are there remote registered respiratory therapist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they are rare. Respiratory therapy is a hands-on clinical role that requires direct patient contact for assessment, ventilator management, and treatment delivery, so fully remote positions represent a small share of the market. About 2% of registered respiratory therapist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles tend to be in telehealth-based pulmonary monitoring or case management rather than bedside care.
How can I get hired as a registered respiratory therapist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate hiring programs at large Texas health systems, which regularly post open positions for candidates who have completed their accredited program and passed the NBRC exams. Baylor Scott and White Health and HCA Houston Healthcare both run structured onboarding tracks for early-career respiratory therapists. Candidates who have worked as a patient care technician, medical assistant, or in a pulmonary function lab have an easier transition, and holding the Certified Respiratory Therapist credential before the RRT makes applications more competitive while the advanced exam is pending.
Where can I find and apply to registered respiratory therapist jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to registered respiratory therapist jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers actively hiring right now. Find roles that match your experience and credentials and apply directly to the ones that fit.
