Check out the international forum and the sticky there called Primer to work in the US. I don't think Texas require CGFNS exam but CES but you will need to pass NCLEX

CGFNS exam is not required for Texas.

For Texas, you will need to go thru the CES process with CGFNS, and then write the NCLEX-RN exam once you have permission to do so from the Texas Board of Nursing. If you already have a green card, then you do not need to go thru the Visa Screen Certificate process.

Please read the stickies at the top of this forum.
