The following advice is from the commentary of ispell.el:

  ;; Region skipping:
  ;;  Place new regular expression definitions of regions you prefer not to
  ;;  spell check in `ispell-skip-region-alist'.  Mode-dependent features can
  ;;  be added to latex by modifying `ispell-tex-skip-alists'.
  ;;  `ispell-message' contains some custom skipping code for e-mail messages.

Does this advice help you?

You should enable flyspell from tex-mode-hook:

  (add-hook 'tex-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)

Place the above line in your ~/.emacs.
