I think you have four real options.
1) Stay in Texas, and pay out-of-state tuition.
2) Go to Cali, and qualify for instate tuition there.
3) This option depends on your grades/SAT/ACT. If you get accepted to a Texas college, and get a $1000 scholarship, then you qualify to pay instate tuition. It's something special Texas does to attract talent from other states.
4) Get into a private college(Rice/Baylor/etc.) in Texas. This is similar to option 1, since you pay out-of-state tuition, but private schools are more generous with scholarships. You do need the grades though.

Those are really the only options I can think of.

Edit: About option 3, I haven't heard of a undocumented student who has gone that route. Would probably be more difficult being undocumented.
