Dear Kendalyn,
You'll certainly have a financial advantage by staying in your home state, and there are good places where you can get a degree in Marine Science in Texas. Here are the two largest:
University of Texas Marine Science Institute:

Texas A & M:

Hope that helps get you started. Good luck!
