The Texas Workforce Commission's job is to help workers find jobs. Its own IT work, though, is staffed in part through outside vendors. Two of those vendors, Allied Consultants and C&T Information Technology Consulting, hold active TWC staff-augmentation contracts, were paid about $830,000 by TWC in the first half of 2026 alone, and certified H-1B workers for IT jobs at TWC's own headquarters address. This report lays out the public records, and is explicit about what they do not prove.
The Texas Workforce Commission is the state agency charged with connecting Texans with employers and administering unemployment insurance and workforce programs. It exists to help people in Texas find work.
The state's own employee roster shows TWC with 4,617 employees in the snapshot we hold, including 10 Data Analyst III positions. Those are public-employee records and say nothing about citizenship or visa status, and we draw no such inference from them. The interesting question is the layer beneath the roster: the contractors the agency pays to fill technology roles that are not on its own payroll.
Searching DOL's public LCA disclosure files for worksite addresses at 101 E. 15th St., Austin, TWC's headquarters, returns certified H-1B applications from twelve distinct staffing and IT vendors across FY2024 through FY2026. TWC itself filed none: searching every LCA from FY2022 through FY2026 for the employer name "Texas Workforce Commission" returns zero rows. Everything below is the vendor layer.

Source: DOL LCA disclosure data (FY2024 full-year table, FY2025 combined table, FY2026 cumulative table through Q3), certified cases with worksite address beginning “101 E(ast) 15th.” Duplicate rows from overlapping quarterly files removed. “None found” means no TWC contract or payment under the vendor's name as spelled on the LCA.
Matching the twelve vendors against the state's contract records for TWC, two have long-running "IT Services-Staff Augmentation" contracts. A third entity, C&T Consulting Services LLP, has a similar name and similar contracts; we show it separately because we have not established that it is the same company.
| Payee (TWC payments, Jan–Jun 2026) | Payments | Total paid |
|---|---|---|
| Allied Consultants | 19 | $300,747 |
| C&T Information Technology Consulting Inc | 39 | $532,420 |
| C&T Consulting Services LLP | 7 | $166,050 |
| Combined | 65 | $999,217 |
“Current Contract Value” is the contract ceiling on the state's contract record, not money paid; payment totals come from the Comptroller payments table for payments dated January 7 to June 18, 2026. Several vendor-name spellings were combined. Roughly $833,000 of the $999,217 went to the two vendors that appear on the LCA list.
The job descriptions line up. Allied's TWC contract records include roles such as “Emerging Project Lead – HR PplSft Project” and a data warehouse architect, and its FY2025 LCA was for a PeopleSoft Systems Administrator at TWC's address. C&T's contract subjects include “Emerging Dev Analyst – HR PplSft Project” and “S/W Test Analyst,” and its FY2025 LCA was for a Project Manager at the same address.
Osceola Staffing Holdings filed H-1B applications for a “Data Analyst” at $88,000 per year with TWC's headquarters as the worksite, once for an October 2024 start and again for a December 2025 start. We found no TWC contract or payment under Osceola's name. It may be a subcontractor under another vendor, or it may be placed through a channel the state's contract data doesn't show. We flag it because the role is a data job at a workforce agency; we cannot say who fills it or on whose contract.
LCA data: DOL's public Labor Condition Application disclosure files, filtered to Texas worksites with addresses at TWC's headquarters. FY2026 uses the cumulative Q3 file; overlapping quarterly rows were removed. Contracts: the state's published contract records for TWC. Payments: the Comptroller's payments data for TWC as payer. Employee counts: the state employee roster snapshot.
An LCA worksite address is a statement of where an employer expects a worker to work, not proof that the person is there. Some LCAs list remote or home locations, and a vendor can file at a client address for an anticipated placement that never happens or ends. We matched worksite addresses that begin “101 E 15th” or “101 East 15th”; other spellings of the same address may exist, so twelve vendors is a floor. Ten of the twelve show no TWC contract under their LCA names, which may mean subcontract arrangements, different legal names, or no TWC work. Ten is not evidence of absence.
Wage figures are the wage rate listed on the LCA, not confirmed pay. The data identifies no worker by name, and we make no claim about any individual's citizenship, visa status, or hiring.
