I will not allow the H-1B program to be abused by bad actors seeking to use it as a loophole for allowing foreign nationals to invade Texas.
Sound familiar?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been making headlines for months investigating H-1B visa fraud. He launched a sweeping probe in January 2026, issued Civil Investigative Demands to nearly 30 North Texas companies, sued at least one of them, and has been very public about his intention to stop what he calls abuse of the H-1B program.
So I started looking at who is staffing the H-1B workers inside his own office.
What I found is sitting right there in the Department of Labor’s public disclosure database — the Labor Condition Applications that every H-1B employer is required to file. No hacking, no leaks, no anonymous sources. Just public records.
Here is what those records show.
Three separate companies filed H-1B applications in 2026 to place Software Developers and Software Engineers at the Office of the Attorney General, Child Support Division, in Austin, Texas at zip code 78741. All three certified workers at exactly $115,000 per year — Level II prevailing wage, not a penny more. All three filings were approved.
The three companies are:
3Core Systems, Inc. — headquartered in Aurora, Illinois. Not a Texas company. They hold a Texas DIR contract (DIR-CPO-5614) for IT staff augmentation, signed by their President and CEO Navin Kandula. That contract is the vehicle that allows them to place workers inside any Texas state agency, including the OAG, without a separate competitive bid.
MAXPRO INC — based in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Not a Texas company. Their website is
maxprous.com and their HR contact is hr@maxprous.com. Every job opening listed on their website is in Michigan. Yet they have two certified H-1B filings placing Software Engineers inside the Texas Office of the Attorney General in Q1 and Q2 of 2026. We could find no active Texas DIR contract for MAXPRO INC and no record of them in the Texas Comptroller’s contract database. How they obtained a placement inside a state agency without a contract vehicle is a question the OAG should be able to answer.
tekAssembly Corporation — also placing Software Developers at the OAG, listed as remote but designating the OAG as the secondary entity. Two filings, same wage, same pattern.
To be clear about what the Child Support Division does: it is not a division that the OAG merely oversees. The OAG directly operates the state’s child support enforcement program. Those H-1B workers are inside Ken Paxton’s office, doing software development work, employed by out-of-state staffing companies, paid the legal minimum wage under the H-1B program.
Meanwhile, Paxton’s office issued this statement in January 2026 when launching his H-1B investigation: “I will not allow the H-1B program to be abused by bad actors seeking to use it as a loophole for allowing foreign nationals to invade Texas.”
I am not a lawyer and I am not saying anyone broke the law. What I am saying is that the same public records system that Paxton’s investigators are presumably using to build their cases against those 30 North Texas companies shows the exact same staffing pattern operating inside his own office — out-of-state companies, H-1B workers, minimum prevailing wages, placed into a Texas government agency.
If the H-1B program is being used as a loophole, it is being used as a loophole everywhere. Including at 300 West 15th Street in Austin.
All of this is sourced to public records. The H-1B filings are searchable at
GuestWorkerVisas.com. The 3Core DIR contract is DIR-CPO-5614, available at
dir.texas.gov. The MAXPRO vendor page at DIR shows no active contract. The Paxton press releases are on the OAG’s own website.
