You just answered your own question. You need the piece of paper if you’re going to teach in a public school. Get a degree at a Texas university and then apply to take the certification test. I understand your frustration and even though I had a BA in elementary education, I still had to spend $9K to get my masters in information and library science.

I don't think I need a degree, I am looking for alternative certification programs that are affordable. I have a BS in sociology already.
Also had to redo everything to switch from teaching elementary in DC to high school in NYC. It's what needs to be done.
