This is my last post guys, thanks for taking the ride. I’d like to preface this by saying most of these metro areas have stadiums called (usually) ISD stadium etc. I haven’t included any (I think) as I think they’re somehow tied to local high schools, but correct me if I’m wrong, as most of them are top notch.
Midland-Oddessa
CSA: 280K
Current NPSL team play out of Grande Communications Stadium (18K capacity) which seems to work for them and in my opinion other than scrubbing football lines and maybe tarping off an end or two would be the ideal venue for a jump to L1.
Corpus Christi
Metro area: 442K
Whatabuger field (MiLB stadium capacity 7K) and Buccaneer stadium (college track stadium capacity 18K) would work, but neither probably offer great sightlines or provide a professional experience. In all honesty a modular would probably be the way to go if L1 came to town. Another option would be Fairgrounds Field, (capacity 5.2K) which is an unused MiLB stadium with dimensions that could easily do a soccer conversion. Little out of the ways, but could work if marketed right to Corpus Christi.
Killeen-Temple
CSA: 460K
Throwing them together as if one gets a L1 team, the other one probably isn;t getting one anytime soon. Fort Hood Stadium in Killeen seems the most modern stadium (capacity 5.5K) but Woodson Field Capacity 3.5K in Temple seems like the best option, albeit with some renovations done. Wc
Tyler-Longview
Metro area: 232K-280K
Also combined, as I assume if one got a L1 team the other one wouldn’t. An ISD stadium or a modular would probably be the best option, not too many venues out there.
Laredo
Metro area: 276K
Laredo Heat currently play out of the local university soccer stadium (capacity 4K) that would work fine, however it is a bit out there in terms of location. A more downtown spot would be Veterans Field (capacity 5K) a seemingly unused MiLB stadium that could easily be converted for soccer.
Amarillo
Metro area: 265K
Hodgetown (capacity 6.6K) is a brand new MiLB stadium right downtown that dimensionally wouldn’t work great for soccer but has everything else to make it work. The old MiLB stadium, Potter County Memorial Stadium (capacity 8.5K) would be an interesting retrofit for soccer, but not sure about feasibility, as it is a bit out there from the city center.
Honorable mentions:Texarkana, Waco, College Station, Lubbock, Abilene, Wichita Falls

Howdy one and all. As I post this, Sunday July 19th, we're mere weeks from when Independent School Districts across Texas plan to start the 2020-21 school year. Similar to April when Spring 2020 started winding down, I figured it may help some folks if we had one consolidated thread to collect start-of-school news.
I'm starting with the districts in and around these areas -- Austin / Central Texas; Corpus Christi / Coastal Bend; Dallas / Ft. Worth; El Paso; Houston; Lubbock; Rio Grande Valley; San Antonio; and Waco/Killeen area. If or when Redditors pass along information about other large ISDs that I may have overlooked, feel free to mention them in the comments (with links if possible! thank you) and I'll update the top-note with those additions.
A few things to remember in terms of statewide guidelines from the TEA:

In mid-June the agency said that districts could choose to start the school year as early as August 3rd, and keep school in session through the 3rd week of June 2021. This type of proposed calendar would expand Thanksgiving Break to two weeks, Winter Break to 4 weeks, and Spring Break to 3 weeks.
On July 7th state Education Commissioner Mike Morath said school districts must offer in-person instruction, 5 days per week, in order to receive state funding. Then the next day, the TEA said that parents can send their students in for in-person instruction, or they can request virtual instruction, and they can change their minds partway through.
Just days ago, the agency said districts can move their First Day of School dates to later than usual, if desired. They also said that districts can provide virtual-only instruction for the first 4 weeks of the year, with no questions asked, and that districts in areas that have been hard-hit by the pandemic can request waivers to stay virtual-only an extra 4 weeks, for 8 weeks in all.

With these guidelines in mind, for each district I plan to list the start date listed on their website, as well as whether they plan to start the year with virtual learning only, and if so, for how long. (If I don't mention a virtual-only period, assume that the district will offer virtual and in-person instruction from the start.)
Austin area districts --

Corpus Christi / South Texas districts --

Dallas / Ft. Worth area districts -- please note that while there are heaps & heaps of districts around DFW, I'm sticking with those with enrollment topping 10,000 per this map.

El Paso area districts

Houston area districts -- as with DFW, I know there are umpteen different districts, and just to keep this semi-manageable, I'm going to look at the districts depicted in this map . If anyone wants to add links to districts in the outlying counties, that sounds OK to me.

Lubbock area districts -- going off this Lubbock County map

Abernathy ISD
Frenship ISD
Idalou ISD
Lorenzo ISD
Lubbock ISD
Lubbock-Cooper ISD
Lubbock ISD
Roosevelt ISD
Shallowwater ISD
Slaton ISD

San Antonio area districts

Waco / Temple / Killeen area districts -- for now I'm going to stick with the bigger districts, i.e. those that contain one 6A high school, This page tied to the ESC for TEA Region 12 lists links to every ISD in the region.

Belton ISD -- Aug. 19th
Killeen ISD -- Aug. 17th
