Occupational Therapist Career Context
In Texas, the Occupational Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$94k (274 salary observations; 1,857 listings), vs ~$96k nationally (7,308 salary observations; 21,414 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-09-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.
The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$69k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $71k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).
Occupational Therapy pay on WeekdayDoc is up 1.5% vs. the prior quarter (through Aug 2026).

Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$69k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$5k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
