You may be able to start as a substitute which are needed badly all over the city. There are also needs for teachers in all the districts due to the rapidly enlarging size of the city. Teachers in the US, in general, and Texas, specifically, must be certified. For information on how to become a Texas certified teacher see the following site: http://www.sbec.state.tx.us/SBECOnline/faqs.asp?width=1024&height=768 I have known many teachers who came to Texas uncertified and were able to remain employed full time as substitutes. Many were able to take over a position as a longe-term substitute for a teacher who were out for medical or personal reasons or otherwise had to leave during the school year. These teachers were able to obtain the jobs fulltime after they were observed by the school administration, and were able to obtain certification while they worked as a substitute. You may need an additional class or two, in order to meet the Texas requirements. My wife was a biology teacher in a high school for a while. She had been certified in Alabama, but when she moved to Texas she had to take Texas History to get full certification. She was able to do this by correspondence while working. I don't know if this still applies, but you need to check to see if there are any special tests or classes which you would need to complete your certification.
