Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (51.8%), other and gifts — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Welch Allyn at 48.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $659 and has fallen 69.8% since, to $199 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 66 payments — averaging $30.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
