Texas DPS Hiring State Troopers For 2020

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is accepting applicants for new state troopers. Submitting a 2020 online application is the first step in the hiring process, which can take up to 12 months. 

The beginning salary of a trooper in training is $55,481, increasing to more than $60,000 once the trainee is commissioned and moved to a 6-month probationary period. 

Texas requires law enforcement officers to pass a physical test, but individual agencies can set their own standards.

To join the DPS, applicants must be at least 21 years old, have two years of military experience or 60 credit hours in college.

The webpage for applicants can be found here.
