Texas Market Overview
Texas is the second-largest physician market nationally. It is NOT an IMLC compact state — a separate Texas medical license is required for locum work. The application process typically takes 60–90 days. Texas rates are slightly below the national median due to lower cost of living, but high-demand urban markets (Houston, DFW, Austin) are competitive.
