Hi Steven, Plain and simple, just do it. You'll only regret not doing it and the longer you wait the harder it will get. I am 35 and I'll be starting a masters in geology this fall. Many schools appreciate older students because we are viewed as being reliable, consistent, experienced, and hard working. I was offered a TA position and was told that my years of work experience played a role in them offering me the position. Hope everything works out for you.

I still haven't heard anything from Louisiana State, Oklahoma State, or Texas A&M. Texas A&M did tell me a couple weeks ago they were still making offers and would do so up until May 31st. As for OU I received a rejection from them back in early March.

Geology

I was accepted yesterday to the University of Houston but as a non-thesis MS. I'm torn because it's a great school for oil/gas but I've also been accepted elsewhere as thesis MS and TA position for two years..

Yes, I was officially accepted on 7Mar with a TA position and I had gone to their recruitment weekend. They said everyone had until April 1st to accept or decline.
