Sure, Texas residents get tired of hearing don't mess with Texas - but would keep Texas tidy have been any better?
These kinds of language issues are just some of the challenges that Texas teachers face. Fortunately, Texas pays new teachers well - Texas teacher starting salaries start at $34,234. It obviously depends on the school district - Houston Independent School District (or ISD), Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, El Paso ISD, etc. all range greatly in pay. You'll want to search for those districts separately.
Texas is renowned for very specific curriculum requirements, and the online site for the Texas State Curriculum is updated often. You can learn more about creating curricula by getting your certificate in curriculum creation.
Some districts require just teaching certificates for K-12, but a master's does help.
Everything's bigger in Texas, so they say - help make children's brains bigger as well!
