MD schools in Texas that might be worth a shot:

Tech-El Paso
Tech-Lubbock
A&M
UTHSC-SA

All of these schools have a pretty strong emphasis on rural / under-served medicine, so if you skillfully articulate your desire to work in South Texas (I'm assuming the Valley?), you might get a look, given your URM status. That's obviously not a guarantee, of course. Your GPA would probably be near the bottom percentile for those schools, so be hopeful, but realistic.
