Bansar Technologies own HUB Subcontracting Plan names 23 IT-staffing subcontractors and exactly how much of a Texas state contract each one gets. We ran all 23 against a decade of federal visa-sponsorship data. The HUB credit and the actual H-1B labor go to almost entirely different companies — and one HUB subcontractor with no visa footprint turns out to be running $44 million of its own, completely separate Texas state business.
Texas
The Vendor Changes. The Worker Doesn’t.
We found three named individuals who kept working the exact same Texas state agency role after the company billing for their time changed — not subcontracting, but vendor succession: a new, separate state contract awarded to a different staffing company, same worker, no gap.
CGI’s H-1B Playbook: The Same 50-Worker Filing, From Texas to California
CGI Technologies and Solutions Inc. filed 17,046 H-1B worker positions in FY2026 — the 4th-largest H-1B footprint of any employer in the country. The same identical-terms, 50-worker batch petition it runs for PNC Financial and Fidelity Investments also runs at state government agencies in Texas, California, New York, Nevada, and Virginia. At TxDOT alone, CGI’s H-1B headcount went from 2 workers in FY2025 to 101 in FY2026 — a 50x jump in one year.
This is a follow-on to our Texas Agency Series (TxDOT, the Attorney General’s Office, the Comptroller, Agriculture, and DFPS).

Abbott’s H-1B Ban Just Reached Schools. It Still Hasn’t Reached $743 Million in State Contractors
Gov. Abbott has now told two different kinds of taxpayer-funded institutions, seven months apart, that they shouldn’t be paying for H-1B labor: state agencies and universities in January, public schools in August. Both times the stated reason is the same: taxpayer money.
Neither order touches the largest taxpayer-funded H-1B channel we’ve found: private state contractors. Fourteen confirmed H-1B-sponsoring vendors have been paid $743.2 million across 1,916 Texas state contracts since 2013 — and 11 of those 14 vendors won new state contract awards on or after the day Abbott’s freeze took effect.
Why Is Texas Sending People Around the World? $3.22 Million in Foreign Travel Over Two Years
Texas Comptroller data shows 943 state-paid foreign trips across 48 agencies in FY2024-FY2025, totaling $3.22 million. Roughly half is General Revenue tax dollars; the rest comes from pension trust funds and university accounts not appropriated by the Legislature. Full breakdown by agency, fund source, and frequent traveler — plus a browsable, exportable dataset.

A $1.3 Billion Staff Augmentation Pipeline Across Texas State Agencies
Following up on the TWC 2026 vendor list published this week, we ran the same H-1B cross-reference against Staff Augmentation contracts at every Texas state agency going back to 2013 — 5,853 contracts worth $1.346 billion, with the Health and Human Services Commission alone accounting for 44% of it. Of the 60 largest vendors, 29 are certified H-1B sponsors, several of them H-1B dependent staffing shops where 80-100% of their own LCA filings are for H-1B workers.

TWC’s Own 2026 Vendors Include Certified H-1B Sponsors
Texas Workforce Commission awarded .95M across 126 contracts in 2026. Cross-referencing that vendor list against this site’s own FY2026 H-1B LCA data turns up two IT vendors — including one hired for explicit Staff Augmentation — that are simultaneously certified H-1B sponsors elsewhere in their business.
