Today while listening to the Texas-BYU game in central Texas I heard Craig Way give a shout out to the Longhorns Houston affiliate KBME-790. This used to be a Texas A&M affiliate. I'm just wondering what Houston stations carry Texas A&M, UH, Rice, Baylor and any other schools football broadcasts these days

I'll give it a shot;
Texas A&M football and Basketball is heard on KFNC-FM 97.5 (and sometimes, allegedly, on 92.5). For the past several years, KLAT-AM carried their Spanish play by play,. But that seems to have ended this year. I'm not sure if the sale to LMN put a stop to that or if the local boosters just gave up (their Spanish broadcast can still be heard on a translator in College Station TX)
Texas Longhorn Football and Basketball is on KBME 790 AM. Their Spanish play by play has never been heard in Houston (or anywhere outside of Austin). I find it weird that the most liberal university put less effort than Texas A&M, a conservative university, into reaching Hispanic listeners across the state. At one point, Texas A&M Spanish broadcasts were heard in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, RGV, and El Paso,
Cougar High Football and Basketball is on KPRC-AM 950.
LSU can sometimes be heard on one of iHeart's AM stations if there are no conflicting broadcasts (Astros take priority on 740, Rockets get 790/740, Longhorns on 790, and Coog High on 950).
Texas Tech has historically been in and out of the market. I could have sworn I heard one of their games on 610 earlier this season, but that could have been a Westwood One game. Back in the 2000s, they used to be on Univisions's KRTX-AM 980. Then after a while they found their way to KCOH-AM 1230 AM. Then they were on KKHT-FM. I don't think they have a full time affiliate this year.
Baylor Football is on KKHT-AM 1070.
Rice used to be on SportsMap 94.1. They were also heard, allegedly, on the 92.5 translator on some occasions. Unfortunately it seems that their radio broadcasts are limited to KTRU-LP 96.1 and to online only this season.
That's about everyone who has, or has had a radio presence in this market. TCU was briefly affiliated with Salem, but that went nowhere.

Actually, that would be KNTH 1070.
Now that I have your attention, what happened with the Texas Tech affiliation? Was it something you guys opted out from renewing?
Learfield lost their contract with Texas Tech. Thus, we lost ours with Learfield.
Excellent post, besides the Cougar High bit.
It's a habit. Houston has always been and continues to be a commuter school due to circumstances beyond their control. Unlike the University of Texas or Texas A&M, UH doesn't have nearby neighborhoods/districts that focus on off-campus student living. By late afternoon, the UH campus becomes somewhat of a ghost campus since everyone goes "home" to a place far away from campus.
That's not the case at A&M or UT. Texas A&M has Northgate and the University of Texas has Guadalupe St/West Campus neighborhood. So students there are able to come and go as they please without fighting traffic on 45/10/59.
Their making strides on the commuter tag. I had (couldn't take the current regime any longer) season tix dating back some twenty years. Began following UH in 1981 and thru good & bad I've made it my team.
Your post brought back good memories when I listened to Cougar sports on KNUZ with Edmonds & Casper and later to Tom Franklin & Chuck Brown. Of course I also had my transistor tuned to KODA in the ole days with Trupiano, Giff & Biles (not dating myself much) and the Gamblers on KENR IIRC.
