The minimum wage in Dallas, Texas, as of January 1, 2024, is $7.25 per hour, the same as the Federal Minimum Wage. This rate applies to most employees in Texas, with limited exceptions for certain occupations like agricultural workers and babysitters, students in some work-study programs, and other exempt roles. While Texas does not have its own state-specific minimum wage, it adopts the Federal Minimum Wage and allows employees to collectively bargain with their employers for higher wages.
For tipped employees, the minimum wage is $2.13 per hour as long as their tips bring their total hourly earnings up to at least $7.25. Texas employers, under certain restrictions, may count tips and the value of meals and lodging toward the minimum wage. However, they cannot pay you less than $7.25 per hour unless you or your occupation are specifically exempt from the minimum wage under state or federal law.
For more detailed information, you can visit the Texas Workforce Commission's page on Texas Minimum Wage Law and the US Department of Labor’s page on Federal minimum wage information.
