Col. Wilson Speir told the Senate Finance Committee that Texas troopers are underpaid and the department needs 400 more troopers. He proposed a 13.6 percent raise for two years, higher hazardous duty pay, and extending pay eligibility to 30 years, while the Legislative Budget Board recommended a 5.1 percent across the board increase. Speir noted Texas lags behind national ratios and warned rural counties rely on DPS. Training a trooper cost about $30,000 and the state loses 200 officers annually.
