there are a lot of suburbs in the houston area and each school district pays differently. houston i.s.d. (where i teach), pays the least but it still pays well. also, housto i.s.d. has changed the requirements concerning "teaching experience" so you may be able to get more than a first year teacher anyway.
as for certification programs, i'm also in one--houston i.s.d.'s alternative certification program. but, of course, it isn't the only option. there are a coupe of programs i've heard of that are less intense than the one i'm in. there's "i teach texas" and the ATC program. i think they are both online.
