Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

I hired an employee at a rate well above minimum wage based on his said experience. He has not lived up to his so called experience. I want to lower his rate of pay based on what I feel his experience justifies. Is this ok to do? His wage would still be far above the minimum wage.
