Do any schools in Texas play baseball in Jr. high? If so, who and what area are they located in?
I honestly don't know of any that play, yet UIL breaks down practice dates, season, length, etc.

The only schools I know of is private schools and a few smaller schools like 2A
Some of the HISD (Houston) schools play middle school ball as a club sport. Season runs mid Jan thru April. About 15 games total, short playoff at the end. Most schools only have one team made up of all grade levels.
I coach at a 1A and we play it. Very tough to find games though. There are a few smaller schools that do play it out west of Ft. Worth.
We have it at McKinney Christian. Many of the larger Dallas area TAPPS schools have it. The team is in a league too. Total of about 12-15 games. Best thing we've done at MCA. Gives me an idea of what is coming up for varsity in the future.
My older son, who is in college now, got to play jr high baseball at a private school. We moved and my younger son that is a junior in high school now, did not get to play in junior high. He was always telling me how he wished public schools would have baseball junior high. It was a good experience for my older son.
disd plays, the district in the southern sector is greiner,t. w. browne,hector p. garcia,quintinilla, and atwell. not sure about sunny north dally.
DISD and DPL play. Quality is higher in select ball, though.
The eight Richardson middle schools also do not play baseball as an organized sport.
