If you apply to all of your Texas schools this month you should receive several interviews.

If you're a Texas resident, I wouldn't bother applying OOS, personally. Your stats match that of the avg. matriculant based on your GPA and MCAT alone. If I were you, I would spend less time shadowing and more time nonclinical + clinical volunteering. That said, have you applied this cycle (for EY2019) or are you waiting to apply next cycle (EY2020)?

EY 2019! I submitted primaries in June, working on my secondaries for texas schools (should be done by this week) and waiting on AMCAS to be verified

Should I be super worried about the low bio/biochem? I'm not sure what happened, the lowest I've scored on practice exams was a 127. @Goro I've noticed that you've commented on specific section scores in the past. Any thoughts?
