Compliance Specialist Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a compliance specialist in Texas?
Most compliance specialist roles in Texas require a bachelor's degree in business, finance, law, or a closely related field. Texas does not issue a state compliance license, but employers strongly favor candidates who hold the Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP) credential from the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics, or the Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM) for banking roles. Starting in an analyst or auditor position within a Texas-regulated industry such as energy, financial services, or healthcare is the most direct path.
How much do compliance specialists make in Texas?
Compliance specialists in Texas earn a median of about $78,140 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $51,400 for the lowest 10% to over $137,260 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire compliance specialists in Texas?
Employers hiring compliance specialists in Texas right now include HP, Molex, and Kinder Morgan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of energy majors, large regional banks, and integrated health systems means compliance hiring remains consistent year-round across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most compliance specialist jobs?
Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio have the most compliance specialist openings in Texas. Houston's dominance reflects its role as the headquarters hub for major energy companies and large regional banks, while Dallas draws significant volume from financial services, insurance, and corporate headquarters, and Austin's growth in technology and healthcare has steadily added compliance headcount over recent years.
Are there remote compliance specialist jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than many fields, because compliance work is largely desk-based, document-driven, and conducted through software systems that function equally well off-site. About 53% of compliance specialist openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting broad employer acceptance of flexible arrangements. Policy review, regulatory reporting, training development, and monitoring functions are the most commonly remote parts of the role.
How can I get hired as a compliance specialist in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a compliance analyst or compliance coordinator role, which large Texas employers in banking, healthcare, and energy regularly fill with recent graduates. JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America both run analyst development programs in their Texas offices that accept candidates without prior compliance experience. Moving laterally from an auditing, paralegal, or risk analyst role is another common route. Completing the CCEP exam or a compliance certificate program from a Texas university gives candidates a clear edge over unqualified applicants.
Where can I find and apply to compliance specialist jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to compliance specialist jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across Houston, Dallas, Austin, and other Texas markets. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly to the employers posting them.
