Texas is so big, but everyone seems to travel to where the big tournaments are being held. My DD played 10U-18U and we always traveled all over Texas. We are from Bryan, and traveling to Central Texas, Houston, and Dallas/FtW was a normal weekend.
Houston still has to be the best area if you are measuring it off of Championships and Major DI commitments. Dallas area is a close second and Central Texas is catching up real fast. The biggest tournament in Texas at the High School aged level is the RMD in Houston, I think the second biggest is the Elite showcase in Dallas area. Teams from all over will travel in every division to play.
The Bombers in south/Central Texas hold tournament that just about every legit 10-14U teams attends.
On average most teams are traveling 2-4 hours just to get to these tournaments.
