Overtime rules in Texas
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek (federal FLSA). No state daily overtime.
Texas has no state minimum-wage or daily-overtime law, so the federal FLSA applies in full.
Because Texas has no daily-overtime rule, only your weekly total matters: hours over 40 in the workweek are paid at 1.5×. A handful of states (California, Alaska, Colorado, Nevada) add daily overtime on top of this — Texas is not one of them.
Texas overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the Texas minimum wage of $7.25, an overtime
hour is worth $10.88. A 45-hour week =
40 regular ($290.00) + 5 overtime (5 × $7.25 × 1.5 = $54.38) = $344.38 gross. Earn more than minimum
wage? Put your own rate into the calculator above.
Minimum wage & overtime in Texas
Texas adopts the federal $7.25 by reference and sets no higher state rate. Overtime is always 1.5× your actual regular rate, even at the federal minimum. See the full breakdown on the Texas minimum wage page.

Do salaried employees in Texas get overtime?
It depends on whether the role is "exempt" or "non-exempt" under the federal FLSA. Salary alone does not make someone exempt — the job duties and a minimum salary threshold both matter. Hourly, non-exempt workers in Texas are owed overtime.
