Administrative Assistant Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a administrative assistant in Texas?

Most administrative assistant positions in Texas require at minimum a high school diploma, though employers increasingly prefer candidates with an associate or bachelor's degree in business administration or a related field. Texas does not issue a state license for general administrative assistants, but specialized paths exist: medical administrative assistants benefit from a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant credential, and legal administrative assistants working in Texas law firms often pursue certification through the National Association of Legal Professionals.

How much do administrative assistants make in Texas?

Administrative assistants in Texas earn a median of about $71,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $50,740 for the lowest 10% to over $103,080 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire administrative assistants in Texas?

Employers hiring administrative assistants in Texas right now include Department Of Family And Protective Services, University of Houston, and Texas Department of Transportation, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's concentration of energy headquarters, major hospital systems, and Fortune 500 corporate offices creates particularly consistent demand for experienced administrative professionals.

Which Texas cities have the most administrative assistant jobs?

Houston, Austin, and Dallas have the most administrative assistant openings in Texas. Houston's energy sector and Texas Medical Center anchor demand there, while Dallas draws heavily from its dense concentration of corporate headquarters and financial services firms, and Austin's fast-growing technology and government sectors continue to add administrative roles at a steady pace.

Are there remote administrative assistant jobs in Texas?

Yes, and more than many comparable office roles. About 7% of administrative assistant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how much of the work, including scheduling, correspondence, and document management, translates well to off-site arrangements. Roles supporting corporate teams and technology companies tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while positions in healthcare and legal settings more often require on-site presence.

How can I get hired as a administrative assistant in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for receptionist, data entry, or office coordinator roles at large Texas employers such as hospital systems, state agencies, and corporate campuses, which routinely hire candidates with limited experience and provide on-the-job training. Community colleges across Texas, including those in the Dallas County Community College District and Houston Community College system, offer short-term business administration certificates that improve candidacy. Earning a Certified Administrative Professional designation also gives applicants a measurable edge when competing against candidates with more experience.

Where can I find and apply to administrative assistant jobs in Texas?

You can find and apply to administrative assistant jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
