You’re auto-admit to all of the state schools, except UT Austin and A&M College Station, with your GPA/SAT scores.
The best pre-med programs are at UT Dallas and Texas Tech. With your stats the approximate costs will be;
UT Dallas - $26,000 a year for tuition, room & board, books, fees, expenses.
Texas Tech - $26,500 a year for tuition, room & board, books, fees, expenses.
The only decent state schools under the $20,000 mark (for pre-med) with your stats are;
UT Arlington $10,000 all in
University of North Texas $20,000 all in
Texas State would run you $16,000, but their science (bio/chem) department is super thin
Two other really good options you might want to consider are;
Austin College $20,000 all in (private liberal arts school in Sherman, Texas) has a strong pre-med program
Oklahoma State University $20,000 all in (Stillwater, Oklahoma) also has a strong pre-med program
If you can stretch the budget a bit, I would also suggest that you look in the University of Arkansas which places 93% of its pre-med students into medical school. Cost for you would run about $26,000 all in.
You qualify for Honor’s College at all of the schools I’ve listed, which may be worth looking into in order to get a better quality of education/smaller classes/more face time with professors/more research opportunities, etc.
** UT Austin is closer to $28K a year all in.
Good Luck.
