Texas State Agency Deep Dive · August 29, 2026

Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
Workforce & H-1B Analysis

The Comptroller manages every dollar of Texas state money — tax collection, state payments, fiscal oversight, and the statewide accounting system. Its 4,200 employees keep that machinery running. Its H-1B footprint includes the same 50-position mass-filing pattern seen at TxDOT, a job title filed with a deliberate-looking misspelling, and vendors paying hourly wages that obscure true annual costs.

Held by CGI's 50-Position Petition

This is the agency that collects Texas taxes, issues state payments, and maintains fiscal oversight over every other state agency. Its IT systems hold some of the most sensitive financial data in Texas government. CGI Technologies — the same vendor holding 101 of TxDOT's 138 H-1B positions — also holds one petition here covering 50 Scrum Master positions at $90,605/year, filed under case number I-200-26160-994635. That single petition accounts for 75.8% of every H-1B worker placed at the Comptroller.

Separately, Avco Consulting, Inc. filed a petition for "Sr. Software Doveloper" — a clear misspelling of "Developer" — alongside correctly spelled filings for the same role. That misspelled petition, and one of innoSoul Inc's two petitions, both carry a status of Withdrawn.

H-1B Vendor Placements at the Comptroller — FY2026 (Q3 Cumulative)
🚨
CGI Technologies holds 75.8% of all H-1B positions here — the same mass-filing pattern used at TxDOT
Case number I-200-26160-994635, certified 2026-06-16, covers 50 Scrum Master positions at $90,605/year — filed the same week (June 9–16, 2026) as CGI's second TxDOT mega-petition. This is not an isolated filing quirk: CGI is running the same 50-position batch pattern across at least two separate Texas agencies.
🔤
"Sr. Software Doveloper" — a misspelled job title, subsequently withdrawn
Avco Consulting, Inc. filed a petition for "Sr. Software Doveloper" — a clear misspelling of "Developer" — alongside correctly spelled filings for "Sr. Software Developer" and "Sr. Software Engineer." All three carry the same wage of $114,754. The misspelled petition (case I-200-25339-460062) carries a status of Withdrawn.
💰
Two vendors filed hourly wages — both $55.17/hr — instead of annual salaries
Info Services, LLC and INVOLGIXS INC both filed at exactly $55.17/hour. Annualized at 2,080 hours, that equals approximately $114,754 — in line with the other vendors. Both petitions are certified.

Texas Agency Series — All Five Agencies
TxDOT — 138 H-1B worker positions, 30 vendors, CGI holds 101 across 3 petitions. Scale is the story.
OAG — 9 workers, 7 vendors, spanning both the general office and the Child Support Division. Location is the story.
Comptroller — 66 workers, 12 vendors; CGI's second 50-position mega-petition, a misspelled job title, two hourly filers. Process integrity — and CGI's repeat pattern — is the story.
Agriculture — 11 petitions, 9 vendors, a $38,439 wage gap between two titles for one role.
DFPS — largest agency in the series and the lowest-paid; four Stier Solutions petitions certified then withdrawn.

Five agencies. Five different ways the H-1B system is being used against the Texas workers it was supposed to protect.

About This Data
Employee payroll data from the Texas State Auditor's Office. Ethnicity classifications as recorded in state HR systems. No employee shown here has been identified as an H-1B visa holder. H-1B data from DOL LCA Disclosure Data, table 2026h1b_combined, SOURCE_QUARTER='Q3' — DOL's Q3 FY2026 quarterly extract is cumulative fiscal-year-to-date, so this single extract supersedes the separate Q1/Q2 files used in an earlier version of this report and requires no cross-quarter deduplication. Filtered to records listing the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts as the secondary entity (worksite client agency). Research by GuestWorkerVisas.com.
