TX Professional Services Vendors

Texas taxpayers are paying private contractors and consulting firms — some of which appear to prioritize H-1B visa holders over hiring American citizens for the same work.

Every dollar tracked in this category comes from the Texas Comptroller’s public expenditure data, filtered to the “Professional Service and Fees” spending category — the line item where outside contractors, consultants, and staffing firms get paid, as opposed to direct state payroll.

Not every vendor listed here is doing this, and we’re not claiming otherwise. But we believe Texas taxpayer money should never go to firms that choose to hire foreign visa workers instead of available, qualified American citizens — especially while so many Americans are unemployed or underemployed. When a state contractor makes that choice, we think Texans deserve to know.

Each report below breaks down monthly payments by agency and vendor, so you can see exactly who’s getting paid, how much, and by which state agency. We’re working to cross-reference this vendor list against publicly disclosed federal H-1B visa filings, so specific claims about specific companies can be backed by hard evidence rather than assumption.
