I know Houston and pipeline well. Welders are hard to come by. The pipe welding regulations are very strict, it must pass xray mostly and fillet welds NDT. They expect a one shot, so it would probably be best to keep carrying on helping and practicing until your ready to weld on pipe that can kill people. Lots of these welders travel since pipelines spread for miles and miles. I would take a shot at the refineries, there are tons in Houston. I'm sure there is welding going on everyday. Chevron, BP, Marathon, Valero, etc... try em all. Also look at the big contractors, since most of those companies will source out welding to contractors.
