Best Aviation Medical Examiners in Texas (2026)
The 10 highest ranked AME offices in Texas, picked from 26 offices we reviewed across 4 metro areas.
This page ranks aviation medical examiners in Texas for 2026. The list covers the Dallas (DFW), Houston (IAH), San Antonio (SAT), and Austin (AUS) metro areas. Each entry is an aviation focused practice. The ranking uses Google ratings and review counts, so a clinic with more reviews can rank below one with fewer but higher reviews. Ratings and review counts can change, so check the clinic before you book.
Pilots in Texas can start with this statewide list, then open the city page for the metro area closest to them. City pages show local AMEs and help you compare drive time and office location. Only an FAA designated AME can issue an FAA medical certificate. You can also confirm any examiner with the FAA Designee Locator. Call the office for the current price, since AMEs set their own fees.

Getting an FAA medical in Texas
How do I find an FAA medical examiner in Texas?
Start with the statewide list on this page, then open the city page for Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, or Austin. You can also use the FAA Designee Locator to confirm that an examiner is designated by the FAA. Call the office before you book to ask about the current fee and what to bring.
What should I do before my exam in Texas?
Fill out FAA Form 8500-8 online in MedXPress and bring the confirmation number to your visit. The MedXPress application stays valid for 60 days. Answer every question truthfully, because a false answer is a federal offense. Bring your glasses or contacts and a list of your medicines.
What if the examiner cannot issue my certificate?
The AME can deny or defer your case. A deferral sends your file to the FAA Aerospace Medical Certification Division in Oklahoma City or to a Regional Flight Surgeon. Reviews can take weeks or months. Some conditions can be handled on the spot with a Conditions AMEs Can Issue worksheet or through AME Assisted Special Issuance.
Can I fly in Texas without a medical certificate?
Some private pilots can use BasicMed. You must have held a valid FAA medical certificate at some point after July 14, 2006, take an approved online course every 24 months, and get an exam from any state licensed physician every 48 months. Flights must stay below 18,000 feet MSL, at 250 knots or less, and not for compensation or hire. Check the current FAA BasicMed page for aircraft and passenger limits.
