You might want to start looking at the 2016 "Charting Outcomes in the Match" for osteopathic applicants. Follow this link:
http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Charting-Outcomes-US-Osteopathic-2016.pdf
Go to page 102. A D.O. pediatrics applicant with a COMLEX between 451 and 500 U.S. had an 85% chance (53/62) of matching across the U.S. The mean COMLEX I score for matched applicants was 550.
You should also look at the composition of the resident classes at some of the Texas programs.

There are a fair number of D.O.s at all of these programs but I think you need to think about scoring higher than 550 on the COMLEX to get a slot at any of these places.
