Texas doesn't currently require that you be credentialed to work as a veterinary technician, but doing allows your vet a bit more freedom to utilize you to the fullest in a practice setting and also allows for earning veterinary technician specialty credentials, so it is worthwhile.
Veterinary technicians in Texas are registered through the Texas Veterinary Medical Association. Requirements include a degree in veterinary technology from an AVMA accredited program, a passing score on the Veterinary Technician National Exam and a passing score on the state jurisprudence exam.
