TxDOT has long been a reliable path from working-class Texas into the middle class — stable government careers in engineering, IT, and administration. This report documents the current employee workforce composition alongside 138 H-1B worker positions placed at TxDOT by outside vendors in FY2026, asking who those jobs were meant for.
For generations, a job at TxDOT meant something. It meant your kids could go to college. It meant a pension and health insurance in a state that doesn't offer much of either. It was one of the clearest on-ramps into the middle class available to working Texans — Black, Hispanic, White, and Native American families alike built careers there.
The data below shows 138 H-1B worker positions currently placed at TxDOT through 30 outside staffing and consulting firms. The largest single vendor, CGI Technologies, holds three petitions totaling 101 positions — 73.2% of all H-1B placements at the agency — including two separate 50-position mass filings six months apart. Those are IT positions that Texas workers could fill. Nobody in Austin, San Antonio, or El Paso got a phone call first.

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 TxDOT or Texas Department of
Transportation as the secondary entity (the actual worksite client agency, not merely
the worker's city).
