Texas right now has about the same number of teams as PNW (3 less) so 9 district events should be run.

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
I would agree with the DFW and Houston events, but I don't think there is enough teams currently on I35 from Waco to San Antonio to justify 3 events. One event in Waco and one in San Antonio should be enough. As for the other 3 events I would go for one around Lubbock, one around El Paso (there are 6 teams there and an airport), and one around McAllen/Brownsville (the southern tip).
