Found the source... answering my own question:
2014 - 131 Texas FRC teams
2015 - 136 Texas FRC teams +5
2016 - 141 Texas FRC teams +5
2017 - 144 Texas FRC teams +3
ALL the upset around UIL designation causing some teams to have to radically change and some teams being excluded from UIL Texas State Championships and _all_ Texas gains is a net 3 team growth?
Granted it's the first year of UIL endorsement, but we were led to believe there'd at least be a mini-explosion out of the gate in team numbers growth driven by UIL validating/promoting FRC.

Maybe in the mid-term and long-term that UIL-powered growth explosion will happen, but this first year (2017 - 144 teams) number isn't encouraging.
Trying not to be negative... just being real about this UIL thingy...
