Understand I do not have any teacher certification, and I am not currently employed as a Teacher.
However I do have a Master of Public Affairs and two B.S. degrees (one in Poli. Sci & another in History).
I just want to start working as a Teacher for any district as fast as possible!

First, the bad news. You can't get a teaching job in a Texas public school without becoming certified, regardless of degrees. Texas law says you must be "highly qualified" in order to be hired. In other words, you have to either have your certification in hand or applied for and on the way. Private schools are not bound by this law, but many follow it anyway. Besides, pay at private schools is even lower than at public schools and they usually don't give benefits.
The good news: there are all kinds of alternative certification programs all over Texas. They take between 1-2 years to complete, and the cost of the program is in the neighborhood of $3000, but there are grants available. Check out this website:

It is for the Texas State Board for Educator Certification. The very first link tells you how to become a teacher in Texas.
One other piece of advice. I took the course at Blinn College. I completed it, am happily and successfully employed, but I don't recommend their program. It is too heavily dependent on distance learning (internet courses) and provides very poor hands-on learning.
