Local market
CRNA jobs and hiring in Texas
Texas’s CRNA median sits above the national figure, with employment concentrated in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio. Listings often mix W-2 hospital roles and 1099 or locum packages. An advertised total is not the same as the OEWS base-wage median on this page, and call ratios (for example “1:5”) need an employer definition.
Texas has no state income tax, so take-home can look better than a similar W-2 offer in a taxing state even when base pay is close. Like Florida, Texas also opted out of the federal Medicare rule that otherwise requires physician supervision of CRNAs, but facility privileges and care-team structure still set how independent a role feels day to day. Houston’s Texas Medical Center and other large systems pull a lot of hospital anesthesia work, while ambulatory surgery and 1099 coverage show up across the big metros.
- Use no state income tax as a take-home comparison factor; it does not replace comparing base wages and call burden.
- Experience minimums and case mix (OB, cardiac, ambulatory) vary by posting. Match credentials to the facility, not the state headline rate.

Common questions
Texas CRNA salary FAQ
How much do CRNAs make in Texas?
The Texas median annual wage for nurse anesthetists was $244,990 in May 2025, according to BLS OEWS data. That is about 4% above the national median of $236,590. The Texas 10th-90th range ran from $169,350 to $340,950.
How is my Texas CRNA salary percentile estimated?
The calculator annualizes the base pay you enter, then interpolates between Texas’s BLS 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile thresholds for Nurse Anesthetists (SOC 29-1151). Values outside that published range are labeled only as below the 10th or above the 90th threshold.
Does Texas have no state income tax? Does that change CRNA salary?
Texas has no state income tax, which can change take-home pay versus a similar W-2 offer in a state that taxes wages. It is a comparison factor for net pay, not a substitute for the OEWS base-wage median on this page.
Does this include call pay or 1099 packages?
No. Enter base pay only. Call pay, overtime, stipends, and 1099 package totals are excluded. Advertised totals (for example a high 1099 figure with a call ratio) are not the same as OEWS base wages, so confirm components with the employer.
What should I check when applying for a Texas CRNA job?
Match the metro (Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and others), ask whether the role is W-2 or 1099 / locum, clarify call ratios and case mix, and verify experience minimums and malpractice terms against the specific posting, not the state median alone.
