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.

A year earlier, from October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, Texas had 68,051 certified cases from 11,662 employers. Both counts are lower now. Positions rose all the same, from 102,426 to 111,038.

Tata Consultancy Services Limited fell from 1,328 cases to 618, and Cognizant Technology Solutions US Corp from 1,602 to 987. HCL America Inc went from 711 to 391, and Microsoft Corporation from 532 to 265. On the other side, Infosys Limited rose from 1,224 to 1,465, Tesla, Inc. from 414 to 584, and American Airlines, Inc. from 233 to 315.

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.
