I don’t know your mom, but I’m betting some of this is about you being a girl.
Why does she think that being OOS is somehow magically more dangerous? She does realize that OOS for you is in-state for lots of other people, doesn’t she? Does she think that muggers, rapists and shooters are carefully researching their victims and only targeting people from out of state? How could the mere fact that you cross a state line to attend college automatically make you less safe?
TEXAS? SHE THINKS TEXAS IS SAFE?!?! Yeah, because college kids, liquor and guns are a combination to inspire confidence in any worried parent’s mind.
