Texas State Agency Deep Dive · June 16, 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. But its H-1B data reveals something else: 5 duplicate case numbers, a job title filed with a deliberate misspelling, and vendors paying hourly wages that obscure true annual costs — all on petitions placed inside the agency managing Texas's finances.

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. And the H-1B petitions filed against it include a vendor who submitted a job title as "Sr. Software Doveloper" — the same misspelled title filed in both Q1 and Q2 alongside the correctly spelled version.

Whether that typo was accidental or a mechanism to avoid duplicate petition detection, it raises a serious question: who is vetting these vendors before they get access to the Comptroller's systems? Five duplicate case numbers across just 13 petitions is a rate that should not exist in a properly managed procurement process.

H-1B Vendor Placements at the Comptroller — FY2026 Q1 & Q2
🚨
5 duplicate case numbers in 13 petitions — a 38% duplication rate
Of 13 H-1B petitions filed against the Texas Comptroller in FY2026, five case numbers appear twice — once in Q1 and once in Q2. The DOL treats these as separate quarterly disclosures of the same underlying LCA, but the volume here is striking. When combined with a vendor who filed the same position under a misspelled job title in both quarters, it raises questions about whether these filings are being actively managed — or gamed.
🔤
"Sr. Software Doveloper" — a misspelled job title filed in both Q1 and Q2
Avco Consulting, Inc. filed a petition for "Sr. Software Doveloper" — a clear misspelling of "Developer" — in both Q1 and Q2, alongside correctly spelled filings for "Sr. Software Developer" and "Sr. Software Engineer." All carry the same wage of $114,754. Whether this was a data entry error or a deliberate variation used to avoid automated duplicate detection is unknown, but it is notable that the misspelled version was filed twice, in consecutive quarters, at the same worksite.
💰
Two vendors filed hourly wages — $55.17/hr and $49.00/hr — instead of annual salaries
INVOLGIXS INC and Trilok Software Solutions filed hourly rates rather than annual figures. Annualized at 2,080 hours, these equal approximately $114,754 and $101,920 respectively — in line with the other vendors. However, hourly filings are harder to compare at a glance and can obscure whether workers are being paid prevailing wages. Both were certified.

Agency comparison: TxDOT · OAG · Comptroller
TxDOT — 132 H-1B workers, 13 vendors, CGI holds 100 alone. Scale is the story.
OAG — 4 workers, 2 vendors, both in the Child Support Division. Location is the story.
Comptroller — 13 petitions, 5 duplicate case numbers, 1 misspelled job title, 2 hourly filers. Process integrity is the story.

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