To be able to work in the state of Texas as a nursing assistant you must get a CNA certification. You can get a certification by enrolling in a state approved school course and passing the state license exams. You will also have to pass the background check of both the federal and the state. The licenses of nursing assistants in Texas expires 24 months after being entered to registry and can be renewed by showing verification of time spent on the job.

After you complete a course you will want to schedule a time to take the exam. To find a location nearby you can contact the Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation Services (NACES) by calling their phone number at 1-800-444-5178 or (512) 467-0615. During the exam you will need to pass a written part containing 70 multiple choice questions and a skills test where you will need to demonstrate 5 random nursing related procedures and tasks. You are allowed three opportunities to pass both portions to be placed on the registry or need to retake the training requirement.

It takes approximately four to six weeks to receive your certification from the time you complete the exams.  Once you have taken the exams you can check your current status by calling the Texas nurse aide registry by at 1-800-452-3934. If you have been certified in another state and are currently entered in their state registry you may be able to apply for reciprocity to be eligible to work in Texas. To apply you must submit the DADS required documentation.
