Pay variation within a single Texas state classification is normal and expected. The State of Texas operates a position classification plan in which most titles correspond to a salary group with a defined minimum, midpoint, and maximum. Agencies are free to set individual pay anywhere within that band based on the employee's experience, prior agency service, market conditions for the specialty, and any agency-specific salary supplements. Universities, certain regulatory boards, and elected officials' offices are not bound by the standard classification plan at all and set pay independently — which is why the same job title can show very different numbers depending on the employer.
