I currently work at Kohl's and they're very flexible with my class schedule. Since being hired, I only get scheduled on the weekends. I will work 6pm to 11:30pm on Fridays, 12pm to 5pm on Saturdays, and 5pm to 9:30pm on Sundays. That gives me Monday through Thursday to work on my studies. Good luck!

I completely understand what you are going through! I was in your shoes a year ago, as a postbac. Have you considered applying to schools outside of TX? I was rejected from every school in the state that I lived in until I applied out of state and was ultimately wait listed. One week later, the school emailed me and now I am two semesters away from graduating. I would suggest that you get your GRE scores up and apply to out of state schools. It has been my experience that programs like to have a nice mix of students from all over the country in their program. Also, see if you can add any volunteer experience to your curriculum vitae. The school that I completed my postbac work required us to have at least 10 hours of volunteer work, which included conducting hearing screenings at the local schools. Also, think about schools that offer a new SLP graduate program that is accredited. Jacksonville University in Florida has a new, accredited program that I considered before being accepted to another school that has a newer program. Newer programs usually have limited, set requirements so your chances of getting admitted are pretty good. Best of luck to you and don't give up!
