Respiratory Therapist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a respiratory therapist in Texas?

You must hold an active Texas Respiratory Care Practitioner license, issued by the Texas Medical Board, to practice as a respiratory therapist in the state. The path starts with completing an accredited associate or bachelor's degree program in respiratory care, passing the Therapist Multiple-Choice and Clinical Simulation exams administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care, and then applying for licensure through the Texas Medical Board. Most Texas employers require the Registered Respiratory Therapist credential before hire.

How much do respiratory therapists make in Texas?

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 respiratory therapists in Texas?

Employers hiring 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 scale of large academic medical centers, regional hospital networks, and long-term acute care facilities means consistent openings across both major metros and mid-size cities throughout the year.

Which Texas cities have the most respiratory therapist jobs?

Austin, Dallas, and Houston have the most respiratory therapist openings in Texas, driven by the concentration of major hospital systems, Level I trauma centers, and large academic medical institutions that operate dozens of facilities each across these metros. Suburban markets around Dallas and Houston also generate steady volume as regional health networks continue expanding outpatient and long-term care sites.

Are there remote respiratory therapist jobs in Texas?

Yes, but they're rare. Respiratory therapy is a hands-on clinical role, so the large majority of positions require on-site presence in a hospital, clinic, or patient's home. About 2% of respiratory therapist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in sleep study interpretation, telehealth respiratory consultation, or clinical education and training roles rather than direct patient care.

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

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate respiratory therapist positions at large Texas hospital systems, many of which run structured orientation programs designed for candidates who are newly licensed. Baylor Scott and White Health, Houston Methodist, and Christus Health are among the Texas systems that regularly bring on new grads and provide supervised clinical onboarding. Completing your Certified Respiratory Therapist credential before applying gives you an edge, and lateral entry from roles like pulmonary function technician or respiratory therapy aide can provide the clinical exposure that fast-tracks your first staff position.

Where can I find and apply to respiratory therapist jobs in Texas?

You can find and apply to respiratory therapist jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your credentials and location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
