How hard this is to fill
For one manager
You are staffing one counter or one hospital pharmacy, not a health system. The technician you want can walk to the pharmacy down the street, so the offer has to work on this block.
Ask whether they have filled under a pharmacist in a setting like yours, and whether this state requires registration. A PTCB or NHA certificate is not that registration.
License and training
Texas registers pharmacy technicians with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy. A registered technician needs a current PTCB or NHA ExCPT certification. Trainee registration is separate and one-time, and it is not the technician registration.
