Right to work typically deals with union membership being non-compulsory. Has nothing to do with at will employment. And public employees, which teacher are, are entitled to due process and termination procedures just like other public employees.
What usually happens with non-tenured teachers is that the school simply doesn't renew their contract (which is generally a year to year proposition).
Tenure might vary in Texas and they might not have it like they do in Oklahoma, but those due process guarantees can't be done away with by state law.
