Texas does not require the CGFNS exam, but they do require the CES which is a credentials eval done by CGFNS. That must be completed before they will even look at your application. And once approved, you will have to write the NCLEX exam.
Please read the primer that is found in a sticky at the top of this fprum for much information that you need to have.

CGFNS exam is only required for a hand full of states now, especially not needed since the NCLEX exam is offered all over the world as well.

Licensure and immigration are two very different things, you will still need to follow the requirements for a foreign nurse to get licensed here.

Welcome to all nurses and welcome to the US!

When you complete the application for the CES, it asks for two places that you want the report sent to and you just need to list the Texas BON as one of your recipients.

More than the two, and they charge a fee for that.

And would definitely recommend to use CGFNS for the credentials eval as they are accepted by all states, and some of the other private companies are not. Also if you wish to go on with your schooling, the CES is also accepted my most universities.

Best of luck to you, please let me know if you have any more questions. Please be aware that since you have a visa that will permit you to work, you do not need to obtain a Visa Screen Certificate unless you plan on applying for the green card (permanent residency) later on.
