Ultrasound Tech Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ultrasound tech in Texas?
Texas does not issue a state license for ultrasound techs, so employers rely on national credentials to verify competency. Most hiring facilities in Texas require or strongly prefer certification through the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) or the Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI). Candidates typically complete an accredited associate or bachelor's degree program in diagnostic medical sonography first, then sit for the relevant registry exam in their chosen specialty such as abdomen, OB-GYN, or vascular.
How much do ultrasound teches make in Texas?
Ultrasound teches in Texas earn a median of about $92,580 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,360 for the lowest 10% to over $106,090 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ultrasound techs in Texas?
Employers hiring ultrasound techs in Texas right now include Methodist Health System, Voyage Health, and Talented Medical Solutions, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of large nonprofit health systems, academic medical centers, and private imaging groups means consistent openings across urban and suburban markets throughout the state.
Which Texas cities have the most ultrasound tech jobs?
San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston have the most ultrasound tech openings in Texas, driven by the massive hospital systems, academic medical centers, and specialty cardiovascular and women's health networks concentrated in those metros. Smaller markets like El Paso and Amarillo also generate steady listings through regional health systems serving large surrounding populations.
Are there remote ultrasound tech jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Ultrasound tech work is fundamentally hands-on and patient-facing, so most roles require on-site presence at a clinic, hospital, or imaging center. About 0% of ultrasound tech openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are typically limited to tele-ultrasound QA review, education, or application specialist roles that don't involve direct scanning.
How can I get hired as a ultrasound tech in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate or limited-experience positions at large Texas health systems that run structured onboarding programs, such as those offered by Baylor Scott & White Health and Houston Methodist. Look for roles titled sonography intern, imaging tech trainee, or clinical sonographer I, and consider lateral moves from related positions such as radiologic technologist or cardiac monitor tech. Earning your ARDMS registry credential before applying, even on a student or registry-eligible basis, gives Texas hiring managers a strong reason to consider candidates without a full experience record.
