Banks near youAgencies (all 50 states)

In Texas: 4 walk-in bank sites. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Texas — so a directed match is an option even where no bank is within driving distance.

Texas is a three-bank state: Fairfax Cryobank in Austin and Houston, Cryos International in Dallas, and Cryobank America in Arlington. Cryobank America is the standout for same-day cash — $100 walk-out per visit, the most of any Texas site — while Fairfax pays the highest monthly ceiling.

Known-donor & directed agencies (nationwide)

A separate route from the walk-in banks above: directed / known-donor agencies match you to specific intended parents and work in all 50 states, including Texas. The family pays a per-cycle fee ($5k–$100k), usually trait-priced and released from escrow after FDA clearance — not a monthly wage, so it doesn't sort against bank pay.

“MSM” = whether the agency welcomes gay/bisexual donors. Directed donation is exempt from the FDA anonymous-bank deferral, but only Seed Scout says so on its own pages — treat “Ask agency” as unconfirmed, not a no.

Bank or agency — how to choose

  • Want steady, local income? Use a walk-in bank above — a recurring wage over a 6–12 month commitment, if a site is within driving distance.
  • No bank nearby, or want a bigger one-time sum? A known-donor agency pays a larger per-cycle fee and works anywhere in Texas.
  • Gay or bisexual? Directed donation is the practical route — the FDA anonymous-bank MSM deferral doesn't apply when the recipient knowingly accepts you.

Legal note

Texas Family Code treats physician-facilitated sperm donation as relinquishing donor parental rights.
