Texas publishes its statewide payroll under open-records law, and OpenPayrolls re-presents that data in a browsable, link-friendly format so that any Texan — journalist, researcher, taxpayer, prospective employee — can navigate it without writing SQL. Each entry above links to a full record page with a salary distribution, the largest individual paychecks, the agencies (or, for titles, the cities) involved, and a longform narrative explaining what the numbers do and don’t represent.
