A crucial component of meeting both state requirements is successful completion of appropriate exams. Educational Testing Services (ETS) is currently the entity which conducts testing for Texas certification. Information regarding the testing process can be accessed at the ETS website (https://www.ets.org/praxis/tx/test-takers/plan-your-test/certification.html).
