About this slice of Texas state government

This page collects every Texas state job title in OpenPayrolls beginning with the letter L. 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 34 entries here represent 266 employee records (4.4% of the OpenPayrolls dataset for Texas state government) and roughly $21,966,352 in annualized base compensation, averaging $82,580 per record.

The largest entry on this page by headcount is LICENSE AND PERMIT SPEC II, which alone accounts for 54 records — 20% of this letter slice. The highest individual salary reported anywhere on this page is $459,000 at LEG. OFFICIAL/ADMINISTRATOR. The average annual pay across all 266 records here is $82,580, 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.
