Advertised weekly totals, taxable base plus tax-free stipends. Not take-home. With only 3 open contracts in Texas, treat that median as an indication rather than a rate: the contracts below are the useful part of this page.
That is 28 percent under the $2,197 national median for travel Rehab contracts.
Texas is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so an active multistate license covers you here. A single-state license from elsewhere does not. The compact state list explains which states issue one.

Texas has the 25th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 3 percent under the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 3 percent under, while goods sit 2 percent under and services 3 percent under. That matters more than the headline number, because housing is the part a tax-free stipend is meant to cover and the rest comes out of taxed wages.
| Metro | Open contracts | Median weekly | Rent, 1 bed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waco | 2 | $1,581 | $1,110/mo |
| Tyler | 1 | $1,663 | $1,080/mo |
Rent is the one-bedroom Fair Market Rent HUD publishes for that metro, which is what a housing stipend is trying to cover. The open-contract count beside each metro is the sample its median rests on, and outside the largest markets that sample is small: a median over one or two contracts is a single posting's rate rather than a market rate, so read the count first.
