Computer and Information Systems Managers salary in Texas

The median wage for Computer and Information Systems Managers in Texas was $167,320 in 2024, about 6% below the US median of $177,564. That gap is smaller than it looks once you account for cost of living: Texas sits at a cost-of-living index of 97, meaning everyday expenses run slightly below the national baseline. In purchasing-power terms, the Texas median translates to roughly $172,500 in national-dollar equivalents, closing most of the nominal difference.

The spread across earners is wide. The 10th percentile starts at $104,270 and the 75th reaches $207,620. Even without a reported 90th-percentile figure, the gap from bottom to upper quartile alone spans over $100,000. That range reflects how much variation exists within this occupation: a mid-career IT manager at a regional company and a VP of Engineering at a large financial services firm both fall under the same SOC code.

The mean annual wage of $174,850 runs about $7,500 above the median. A relatively small group of high earners at the top pull the average up, so the median is the more useful reference for someone trying to gauge what a typical manager in this role actually earns.

BLS projects employment in this occupation to grow 15.2% between 2024 and 2034, which puts it in the much faster than average category. Texas had 74,890 Computer and Information Systems Managers employed in 2024, one of the largest concentrations of any state. The sheer size of the market here means openings come from both new demand and turnover in an already large base.
