Sterile Processing Technician Jobs in San Antonio

Glassdoor puts San Antonio SPD pay between $39,025 and $54,585 a year as of 2025, which runs under Houston and Dallas; check it against the salary estimator before you accept an offer. Texas does not require certification by law, so employers set the bar, and the CRCST certification guide covers the credential most San Antonio postings ask for. The metro's defining feature is its military and veteran population, which means military-affiliated facilities sit alongside the civilian systems here in a way they don't in Austin or Dallas.
