A travel PTA in Texas earns a median of $1,650 per week on current ProTherapy assignments, with individual contracts ranging from $1,260 to $1,710. That median is drawn from 20 open travel PTA assignments in Texas as of 2026-10-05.
Medians for the other disciplines with enough Texas openings to report one: travel COTA $1,600 (from 7 openings); travel PT $2,340 (from 6 openings); travel SLP $2,340 (from 6 openings). Each figure covers only that discipline — travel therapy pay differs enough between PT, PTA, OT, COTA and SLP that a single blended number would not describe any of them.
Too few current Texas openings to publish a median for: travel OT 4 ($2,340–$2,340). Those are advertised ranges across a handful of assignments, not averages.
All figures are advertised weekly gross pay on ProTherapy travel contracts — the rate before taxes, inclusive of any housing and meal stipends in the package. They describe ProTherapy’s own open assignments, not a survey of the whole Texas market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
