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, with agency-provided malpractice. Distinct from 1099 independent contracting, contract roles preserve employer payroll-tax handling and often include short-term health coverage, which is why the hourly rate and the salaried equivalent are not directly comparable. Texas grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision. The 5 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in Texas.
Texas requires PMHNPs to have a prescriptive authority agreement with a supervising physician.
