Grad schools in Texas and schools that don't require/give very little weight to GRE

[columbia09]

So besides the usual, UT Austin, Rice, UH, Baylor (won't even accepted me because of GREs), Texas Tech and Texas A&M, anyone know of any good schools in Texas that have a great history of putting students in the oil industry ? I emailed 3 professors from SMU but they haven't gotten back to me. Also besides Oklahoma State, does anyone know of any great geology programs in the USA that don't require or give very little weight to the GRE?
