Travel X-Ray Tech Jobs in Texas: Growth

Texas' radiologic workforce is projected to grow 18% from 2024-2034, beyond the jobs needed to replace people leaving the field. BLS estimated 20,250 employed technologists and technicians statewide in May 2025. These are workforce figures, not Anders' current openings.

Texas X-Ray Credentials and Regional Employment

Texas issues limited MRT certificates for specified body areas. General MRT certification covers a wider range of radiologic procedures. If you're comparing radiologic tech travel jobs in Texas, the practical difference is which exams your state certificate permits. A full radiography role calls for the broader certificate, while a limited certificate restricts practice to its approved areas.

Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston account for about 52% of Texas' radiologic technologist and technician employment. BLS's May 2025 metro estimates put 5,470 jobs in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington and 5,000 in Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands. That's 10,470 of the 20,250 statewide reported above. For travel radiology tech jobs in Texas, these are major employment centers, but nearly half the state's workforce practices elsewhere.

Travel Rad Tech Jobs in Texas: Key Questions

How long after approval does Texas issue an MRT certificate?

Certificates go out weekly, typically on Wednesdays, once your application clears both of the Texas Medical Board review stages: screening, which checks that your documents are complete, then the licensing review. You can follow both stages through the board's online status system.

Do Texas stroke centers need X-ray techs who can run CT?

Yes, around the clock at Level II facilities. Texas' Level II stroke guidelines require at least one in-house certified radiology technologist capable of performing a CT scan and any CT-based studies 24 hours a day, with a noncontrast head CT completed and its interpretation communicated to the treating physician within 45 minutes of the order. For a rad tech with CT competency, that requirement is directly relevant to assignments at those designated facilities.

Do smaller Texas Level IV trauma facilities keep X-ray available around the clock?

Yes, 24 hours a day. Texas' trauma designation rule, 25 TAC 157.126, effective September 1st, 2025, requires a Level IV facility managing 100 or fewer trauma patients a year who meet National Trauma Data Bank registry criteria to have conventional radiology available 24 hours a day. Larger Level IV facilities follow the current American College of Surgeons Level IV standards instead.

Does ARRT renewal also renew my MRT certificate for travel rad tech jobs in Texas?

No, Texas has its own MRT registration and renewal process, and the two run on different clocks. Texas certificates expire on February 28th or August 31st, with online registration opening 60 to 90 days before that date. Completing ARRT's renewal doesn't complete Texas', and the reverse is also true.
