The Department of Labor's Foreign Labor Certification data center publishes every LCA filing. Filter by state ("TX"), SOC code for your occupation, and fiscal year. Employers with repeated certified filings in your target SOC code have active, recurring H1B programs, these are your tier-1 targets.
USCIS publishes fiscal-year approval and denial data for every employer by state. Cross-reference Texas employers with the highest approval counts against your target role.
Universities and nonprofit research institutions headquartered in Texas are cap-exempt under 8 USC 1184(g)(5) and can file H1B petitions any time of year without entering the lottery.
The top sponsors listed above receive large volumes of applications through job boards. Their direct career portals are often less crowded and let you filter by Texas location.
Referrals meaningfully increase interview rates at established H1B sponsors. Look for local immigrant-professional meetups and university alumni networks in Texas.
Cap-exempt employers are among the most powerful H1B opportunities in Texas because they can file petitions throughout the year without lottery risk. Under federal regulation, institutions of higher education, their affiliated nonprofit entities, nonprofit research organizations, and governmental research organizations qualify for cap exemption regardless of which state they're in. If you're a researcher, academic, or healthcare professional, universities and teaching hospitals headquartered in Texas are worth targeting directly on their own career pages.
Important: Cap-exempt H1B workers changing to a cap-subject employer must enter the lottery. Conversely, a cap-subject worker moving to a cap-exempt employer can file immediately. Verify status with an immigration attorney before making a job change.
