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.

But if you have a strong union, schools can't just "not renew" a contract without following seniority rules. Here, the only teachers that can be non-renewed are the ones with the least seniority. Nothing else matters unless they follow very strict procedures with disciplinary actions.
