State Insights
Texas at a Glance
Behavioral-health NP roles across Texas span outpatient clinics, telehealth platforms, and integrated care settings, typically paying $120K–$170K, with demand elevated by nationwide prescriber shortages. Texas grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes NP compensation expectations. Top metros in Texas are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 18 active postings reflect moderate demand for NPs in the state.
Texas requires PMHNPs to have a prescriptive authority agreement with a supervising physician.
