State Insights
Texas at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Texas are typically defined-term W-2 engagements (90 days to 24 months) booked through staffing agencies, paying $90 to $150 per hour with agency-provided malpractice. Distinct from 1099 independent contracting, contract roles preserve employer payroll-tax handling and often include short-term health coverage. Texas grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes PMHNP compensation expectations. Top metros in Texas are not currently federally designated mental health shortage areas, but regional psychiatric demand and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 11 active postings reflect moderate demand for PMHNPs in the state.
Texas requires PMHNPs to have a prescriptive authority agreement with a supervising physician.
