How to read these figures

  • BLS reports wages for all physician assistants in Texas, not certified anesthesiologist assistants alone.
  • Certified anesthesiologist assistants work under physician supervision on anesthesia care teams; Texas practice is authorized under delegatory authority rather than a standalone CAA license as of our review date.
  • For physician anesthesiologist medians, see the anesthesiologist salary in Texas page (SOC 29-1211).

Frequently asked questions

What is the anesthesiologist assistant salary in Texas?+−
BLS does not publish a separate Texas wage table for certified anesthesiologist assistants. As a published benchmark, physician assistants statewide show a median of $134,550 (May 2025 BLS OEWS, SOC 29-1071.00). That series includes all physician assistants, not CAAs only.
Can certified anesthesiologist assistants work in Texas?+−
Texas authorizes certified anesthesiologist assistant practice under physician delegatory authority rather than a standalone CAA license as of our review date. Scope and supervision rules come from the delegating physician and Texas Medical Board policy, not from this wage table.
How is anesthesiologist assistant pay different from CRNA pay in Texas?+−
CRNAs are nurse anesthetists (SOC 29-1151) with their own BLS medians. CAAs are non-physician anesthesia professionals who work on physician-led teams. Compare roles using the correct occupation code for each job.
What is anesthesiologist assistant salary in Houston, Texas?+−
BLS reports physician assistant medians for Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands at $137,240 annually (May 2025 BLS OEWS). This is not a CAA-only figure.

Anesthesia technologists and technicians use different SOC codes than physician anesthesiologists or physician assistants. This page focuses on certified anesthesiologist assistant compensation context, not operating-room tech roles.
