Compliance Officer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a compliance officer in Texas?

The most direct path is a bachelor's degree in business, finance, law, or a related field, followed by entry-level work in auditing, legal support, or regulatory affairs. Texas does not issue a single state compliance license, but employers across industries strongly prefer candidates holding a Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP) credential or a Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM) designation for banking roles. Healthcare compliance roles often look for a Certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) certificate. Building familiarity with Texas-specific regulators like the Texas Department of Insurance or TCEQ strengthens applications considerably.

How much do compliance officers make in Texas?

Compliance officers in Texas earn a median of about $75,370 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $45,170 for the lowest 10% to over $126,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire compliance officers in Texas?

Employers hiring compliance officers in Texas right now include Allied Universal, Invesco, and City of Dallas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of energy companies, major regional banks, and large hospital systems means demand for compliance professionals is spread across multiple industries rather than dominated by a single sector.

Which Texas cities have the most compliance officer jobs?

Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth have the most compliance officer openings in Texas right now. Houston leads because of its density of energy companies, financial institutions, and major healthcare systems, while Dallas draws heavy demand from corporate headquarters in financial services and insurance, and Austin's fast-growing technology sector has expanded compliance hiring significantly in recent years.

Are there remote compliance officer jobs in Texas?

Yes, and more than many professional fields, because compliance work is largely desk-based, document-driven, and does not require physical presence on a production floor or job site. About 46% of compliance officer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how well the role translates to distributed work. Regulatory research, policy writing, and third-party vendor reviews are the functions most commonly performed remotely.

How can I get hired as a compliance officer in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is through a compliance analyst or compliance coordinator role, which large Texas employers in banking, healthcare, and energy routinely post as junior positions requiring only a bachelor's degree. Major Texas health systems such as HCA Healthcare and Texas Health Resources run structured compliance and audit rotational programs that bring in candidates without direct compliance backgrounds. Lateral moves from roles in paralegal work, internal auditing, or risk analysis are common on-ramps. Earning even an entry-level credential such as the CCEP-I distinguishes candidates with no direct experience in a competitive Texas market.

Where can I find and apply to compliance officer jobs in Texas?
