Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 TX 2-year peers in this comparison, Texas State Technical College is larger than 89% and safer-reporting than 3% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Texas State Technical College rose from 9 to 13 (+44%). The increase shows up in Rape (1 to 5), Burglary (3 to 4) and Motor Vehicle Theft (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Fondling (2 to 0) and Arson (1 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Texas State Technical College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Motor Vehicle Theft, Fondling, Arson and Statutory Rape.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Texas State Technical College sits on price and outcomes
At $13,508, Texas State Technical College's reported average net price is cheaper than 35% among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $12,726 for families reporting under $30,000 against $17,235 above $110,000, a difference of $4,509. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $13,508 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $34,758, roughly 2.6 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. Only 41% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
