We are fortunate in Texas to have many work opportunities for film, visual media, and audio talent. Increasingly, more and more legitimate casting is happening online through reliable sources such as Facebook, Actor's Access, and Now Casting, Austin's Beth Sepko Casting, and On Location Casting. With legitimate, reputable casting services such as these, talent does not pay for auditions or bookings. They simply post profiles and headshots on these sites.  

On Location Casting is officially now in its Austin "Friday Night Lights" office for the continuation of Season 4. They are regularly booking extras for NBC's Friday Night Lights. To register with them for extra work, go to www.onlocationcasting.net, fill out a Talent Application, and upload one or two photos. Include any special skills you may have. Include a telephone number. 

Once talent has posted applications and profiles on www.onlocationcasting.net, they can find regular updates and opportunities on On Location Casting's Facebook page. They can even respond to casting calls on a daily basis on this page. Talent in the OLC Database can call 512-707-7934 once a week to see what bookings are available.

Remember not to pay for auditions or bookings for talent work. See http://dianehoward.com/auditions.htm. On this page you will find reputable sources for auditions and agents. If you do not yet have an agent, find a legitimate, licensed agent on this page and those to which it is linked. Look at the talent on the agent's site to see if the agent needs talent like you.
