State Labor Laws

• Current Minimum Wage: $5.15
• Indexed to Inflation: N
• Minimum Wage Notes:
  The State law excludes from coverage any employment that is subject to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. The Texas State minimum wage law does not contain current dollar minimums. Instead the State adopts the Federal minimum wage rate by reference.
• Unfortunately, Texas is a "right to work" state.
