You're doing secondary ed, right? How many schools are there in those two districts? (2ndary)
Now that I now you're subbing, My advice still stands. I'm assuming you like teaching history, so go in and meet as many of the teachers (social studies) you can, shake their hand and give them your name and number. If you leave a good imppression, they'll call you! Subbing for a subject you like beats the hell out of subjects you don't like. If you stick with subbing (for next year), do all of your heavy lifting this year and you'll be primed for next year.
Do the districts (Pearland and Pasadena) have automated sub calling systems? Teacher calls computer, computer calls you?
Depending how big those two districts are, you may want to add a third district, if you intend on working everyday.
For the most part, I really liked subbing. Every day is different. If you have a class full of (@#$%)
, you get a different class the next day. Once the work pump was primed and the calls/work was steady, I could pick and choose which classes I'd sub for and reject the schools and subjects I didn't like.
If I wanted a day off, I just turned my phone off.
