About this slice of Texas state government
This page collects every Texas state agency in OpenPayrolls beginning with the letter S. The slice is not a category in any official sense — it is just an alphabetical browsing aid — but it does surface a useful cross-section of agencies and roles that you might not otherwise discover through topical navigation. Together the 16 entries here represent 111 employee records (1.9% of the OpenPayrolls dataset for Texas state government) and roughly $18,098,202 in annualized base compensation, averaging $163,047 per record.
The largest entry on this page by headcount is SENATE, which alone accounts for 39 records — 35% of this letter slice. The highest individual salary reported anywhere on this page is $459,000 at SENATE. The average annual pay across all 111 records here is $163,047, which compares to a statewide average of $112,904 across the full OpenPayrolls dataset. Slices like this are most useful as a complement to category-based browsing; for sector-level analysis, see our full agencies index or the full job-titles index.
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. For the methodology behind these aggregates, including which fields are excluded from the “annual pay” figure, see the methodology page.
