2 in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area
2 in San Antonio (That 1 little flag in san antonio is 17 teams)
1 in Austin
2 in Houston
The final 2 need to have atleast 1 in the west of the state Lubbock would work but it is to north for the rest of the state and probably 1 south of San Antonio
Texas teams are used to some travel. You are probably right on most of those but I would guess one of the San Antonio events becomes a Waco event since we already have a regional there. Ideally we get more growth in the far west to be able to hold an additional event closer to El Paso.

With the two Lone Star events and Brazos Valley (Waco) we will have 3 regionals in high schools that could easily transition to districts in the future.
