Infosys Limited leads Texas, with 1,465 certified H-1B cases at a Texas worksite from October 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. Amazon.com Services LLC is next with 1,391. Across the state, 11,177 employers filed 61,776 certified cases for Texas jobs in those nine months, the first three quarters of fiscal 2026. A case is one labor condition application the Department of Labor approved, a step an employer takes before it can petition for an H-1B worker, and it can cover more than one position.
The Texas list names 28,009 employers with H-1B and PERM filings for Texas jobs, built from certified cases decided October 1, 2022 to June 30, 2026. Download the first 200 rows free from that page.

Texas is one state of many in our national list of fiscal 2026 H-1B sponsors.
How to read these numbers
The state here is the worksite state, taken from the first worksite named on each case. Many filers sit outside Texas: 36,249 of the Texas cases this year name an employer state other than TX.
We keep employer names exactly as filed. All 25 employers in the table appear under more than one spelling, and those spellings stay apart. Related companies stay apart too, which is why Amazon.com Services LLC and Amazon Web Services, Inc. each have a row. Seven of the 25 names carry a staffing or consulting word, and none a university word.
The median offered wage uses the yearly figure from the low end of the wage range written on each application. Texas has 46 cases with no wage, left out of every median. Titles are free text, so Ernst & Young U.S. LLP's title includes a filing code.
