I know easier said then done on the raising of the additonal funds but my experience is it's very doable in Texas.

I don't think the only issue is money. The process of getting mentors to travel, volunteers (if teams are forced to send X many volunteers), putting students up in hotels for multiple weekends, etc.. I feel is as much of a burden as the cost of travel.
Granted, many of the teams in Texas already travel least once every season as it is and I'm sure the committee has taken into account the population density of the teams.

I think I know of at least one Texas team that will travel out of state regardless of districts
