That depends on whether you have a nursing license from a compact state. As a member of the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC), Texas allows travel nurses licensed in other eNLC states to practice in the state without a Texas Nursing License.

If you have a nursing license from a non-compact state, Texas requires nurses to apply for licensure by endorsement. To be eligible for endorsement, you must:

1. Have graduated from an approved nursing program
2. Taken the appropriate exams
3. Have taken the NCLEX exam within four years prior to applying for endorsement
