About this slice of Texas state government

This page collects every Texas state job title in OpenPayrolls beginning with the letter D. 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 75 entries here represent 989 employee records (16.5% of the OpenPayrolls dataset for Texas state government) and roughly $186,508,768 in annualized base compensation, averaging $188,583 per record.

The largest entry on this page by headcount is DISTRICT JUDGE, ACTIVE, which alone accounts for 237 records — 24% of this letter slice. The highest individual salary reported anywhere on this page is $469,428 at DIRECTOR OF INVESTMENTS. The average annual pay across all 989 records here is $188,583, 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.
