One aspect you have not mentioned is grades.
No matter where you go, with the skills you are referencing for your son, grades are going to open or close more doors than baseball.
Texas is a hot bed of DIII baseball and your son's PG grade would suggest that there could be schools in the DIII range that would be a baseball fit, if the academics are also a fit.
There are also some DIII's in Texas where it would be a reach, baseball wise, for your son because they compete at a level of play that is better than more Northern higher level schools.
If your son is truly passionate about playing baseball in college, his grades are going to determine how many or how few options he might have.
From a baseball perspective, you live in a hot bed of DIII baseball. The academic aspects of Texas DIII schools vary widely.
If it were my son, with our experience at a Texas DIII, I would get on the ASC and SCAC websites and get to work finding schools that look like academic fits. Once you have those, you can begin checking with coaches on the baseball fit.
GPA 3.75
