Research Analyst Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a research analyst in Texas?

Research analyst roles in Texas do not require a state-issued license, so the path runs through education and employer-recognized credentials. Most hiring managers expect a bachelor's degree in economics, finance, statistics, or a related field, and many mid-to-senior roles prefer a master's degree or an MBA. Professional certifications such as the CFA or market research credentials from MRII strengthen a candidacy considerably in Texas's competitive financial and energy markets.

How much do research analysts make in Texas?

Research analysts in Texas earn a median of about $71,650 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $42,380 for the lowest 10% to over $118,730 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire research analysts in Texas?

Employers hiring research analysts in Texas right now include UT Southwestern Medical Center, HR&A Advisors, and Houston Methodist, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Texas's concentration of energy majors, regional banks, and large healthcare systems means steady, year-round demand for analysts across both corporate and consulting environments.

Which Texas cities have the most research analyst jobs?

Dallas, Houston, and Texas have the most research analyst openings in Texas. Houston's energy and petrochemical sector, Dallas's dense financial services and corporate headquarters ecosystem, and Austin's fast-growing technology industry each generate consistent demand for analysts, while San Antonio benefits from large healthcare networks and a growing financial services presence.

Are there remote research analyst jobs in Texas?

Yes, and more than most fields. Research analyst work is largely desk-based and data-driven, making it well suited to remote arrangements. About 67% of research analyst openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how broadly this role has shifted away from mandatory in-office work. Roles focused on quantitative modeling, market sizing, and report writing are the most consistently offered on a remote basis.

How can I get hired as a research analyst in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry point is a research associate or junior analyst role at a Texas-based firm, where structured training is common. Large employers like energy companies, regional banks, and health systems in Houston and Dallas regularly run rotational analyst programs and new-graduate cohorts. Candidates from adjacent roles such as data coordinator, business intelligence associate, or market research assistant can also move laterally. A strong capstone project, a relevant internship completed at a Texas employer, or a foundational certification in data analysis makes a candidate materially more competitive.

Where can I find and apply to research analyst jobs in Texas?
