What do you have to do to become a horse doctor?

Veterinarians, especially large animal or equine doctors, must
graduate college with a bachelor's degree, usually a BA or BS. They
then attend a veterinary college and take special equine classes.
They may join an equine veterinary medicine club if their college
has one. Then they must spend time working with another equine
veterinarian or veterinarian getting good at the skills they
learned while in school. Becoming a horse doctor is a very long
process.

Where is there an equine chiropractic school in Texas?

There are no strictly animal chiropractic colleges. To become an
equine chiropractor, one must first have a doctorate in
chiropractic or a doctorate in veterinary medicine. As such, to
answer your question, you need to search for a chiropractic college
or a veterinary college in Texas.
There are both types of schools in Texas:
Texas Chiropractic College (in Pasadena)
Texas A&M University College of Veterinary
Medicine
The steps required to become an equine chiropractor will be:
1) Complete at least 3 years of a 4 year university/college
undergraduate degree (eg: Bachelors of Science)
2) Complete a 4 year doctorate in either chiropractic medicine
or veterinary medicine
3) Pass national/regional board exams for veterinary or
chiropractic medicine
3) Complete a certification program in animal manipulation
(200 additional hours)
Once this is completed, you can call yourself a doctor of animal
(eg: equine) chiropractic.
There are also 1 and 2 year programs available for someone who
has no university or college training, called equine therapy. This
is like becoming a massage therapist for horses, and I believe they
also teach a couple of generic manipulation techniques. Once you
have completed this program you can call yourself an equine
therapist (many of these people call themselves equine
chiropractors, but it is illegal to do so).
