What should changing brake pads cost?

We live in south texas and were told that replacing brake pads would cost over $200. It sounds very high to me. What should the average brake replacement cost.|||See post below for cost estimates|||It really depends on the labor rate and what all your doing while replacing the brake pads. If your just replacing pads the labor would be a hour or just under that depends on the car or truck, if your having the rotors machined it would be more. The pads it depends on where you buy them and what grade you choose such as mid or premium. I usually charge $50 labor and pads range $30-$70 cost.
