TX · public reference
Texas figures below are occupation-wide state estimates, not cardiac-only wages and not a hospital scale. Confirm a number on bls.gov before you use it in a negotiation.

A later version of /pay/texas can add a self-report band once enough private notes exist for Texas. Until then, CardioPay does not invent a local cardiac rate. If a recruiter names a hospital salary, that number is theirs to document. It is not on this page.
Plains Staffing Cooperative (sample)
Dallas, Texas · Echo · Travel
Sample travel contract for an adult echo lab that needs help covering vacations. Housing is described as a stipend, not a staff salary. Compare it with the Pay page before you treat a weekly quote as annual pay.
Hill Country Heart Institute (sample)
Austin, Texas · Cardiac CT · Staff
Coronary CTA on a dedicated cardiac scanner. RT(R)(CT) required. They want people who already run gated studies, not a general CT tech hoping to cross-train on day one.
