How important is research for Texas schools?

So I can imagine that it's important for UTSW and Baylor. But what about schools like McGovern, A&M, Long, etc.? I'm asking because I'm in my junior year and I recently got in an interesting volunteer internship. I was originally planning on doing research this year (haven't done any), but I really like this internship and I wanna do it until I apply next cycle. I don't have time for both research and this. By the time I apply, I'd have about ~220 hours volunteering in this internship.

Here's my current important stats:
TX resident
3.7/517
220 hours clinical volunteering
40 hours shadowing
40 hours various forms of volunteering

Science is against the law in Texas.

Youll be fine. Dell and the others just dont seem to hit people back lol. It would be great if you could squeeze in a tab bit of research but its not a end all be all deal. Keep up the good work.
