Speech Pathologist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a speech pathologist in Texas?
To become a speech pathologist in Texas, you must earn a master's degree in speech-language pathology from a Council on Academic Accreditation-accredited program, complete a supervised clinical fellowship, and obtain licensure from the Texas State Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. The board requires a passing score on the Praxis exam in speech-language pathology before your license is issued. Texas does not participate in a universal licensure compact, so out-of-state applicants apply for a standard Texas license by endorsement.
How much do speech pathologists make in Texas?
Speech pathologists in Texas earn a median of about $99,910 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $66,370 for the lowest 10% to over $132,990 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire speech pathologists in Texas?
Employers hiring speech pathologists in Texas right now include Collage Rehabilitation Partners, Aveanna Healthcare, and KidsCare Home Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's large public school systems and pediatric hospital networks account for a significant share of consistent openings, particularly in the Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Austin metro areas.
Which Texas cities have the most speech pathologist jobs?
Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas have the most speech pathologist openings in Texas right now. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth lead because of their large hospital systems, extensive public school districts, and outpatient rehabilitation networks, while Austin's rapid population growth has expanded both pediatric and adult caseloads at health systems and independent therapy practices across the metro.
Are there remote speech pathologist jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they are less common than in desk-based fields because most speech pathology work involves direct patient or student contact. About 15% of speech pathologist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting a market where telehealth positions do exist. The roles most likely to be fully remote are school-based teletherapy contracts serving rural Texas districts and evaluation-only telehealth positions within larger health systems.
How can I get hired as a speech pathologist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a clinical fellowship position, which Texas hospital systems and school districts hire for directly and which counts as supervised experience toward your CCC-SLP. Baylor Scott & White Health, Texas Children's Hospital, and large independent school districts such as Houston ISD and Dallas ISD regularly bring on new graduates for fellowship-track roles in pediatric, school-based, and acute care settings. Holding your Texas provisional license before applying and targeting districts with documented teletherapy or early intervention programs gives candidates a measurable edge over other new-graduate applicants.
Where can I find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in Texas?
