Texas requires a written earnings statement with each pay period. Under Tex. Labor Code §62.003, the statement must be signed by the employer or its agent and show: the employee’s name, the rate of pay, total pay earned in the period, each deduction and its purpose, net pay, and — for hourly workers — total hours worked (or units produced for piece-rate workers). The Texas Workforce Commission notes that employees covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act are technically exempt from this state earnings-statement provision, but still strongly recommends giving employees a written or electronic statement.

Yes. The Texas Workforce Commission states the statement of earnings may be in either written or electronic form.
