It looks like TCOM goes by Texas resident vs non-resident status, and accepted two international applicants in 2007. The current TCOM website says: "As a state-supported medical school, TCOM is required to enroll 90% Texas residents for each entering class. Up to 10 percent of each entering class may be filled with non-residents. An alien living in the United States under a visa permitting permanent residence or who has filed with the proper federal immigration authorities a declaration of intention to become a citizen has the same privilege of qualifying for Texas residency as do citizens of the United States."

Medical School Admission Policies Towards Non-US Citizens
BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
Foreign students are considered for admission, but only 1 or 2 are generally accepted. There is no financial aid available for these students.
TEXAS A & M UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
International students account for less than 2% (1/80) of our minority student count. There is an institutional policy on admitting internationals students. International students must have 90 credit hours from an accredited US institution. Over the past three years, three students from among approximately 100 applicants have been admitted. International students are required to present an I-20 immigration form and to provide evidence of the ability to finance four years of medical study. Only institutional scholarships are available to these students.
TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Non-citizens without permanent residency status are not considered.
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SOUTHWESTERN MEDICAL CENTER AT DALLAS
UT Southwestern has no policy on admitting international students. Students must meet INS requirements for F-1 or other student visa. No financial aid is available.
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL SCHOOL AT GALVESTON
International students are accepted, but are considered non-Texas residents. In addition, all required course work and at least 90 undergraduate credit hours must be taken at an accredited US or Canadian college or university.
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL SCHOOL AT HOUSTON
Because these applicants may be seen as having a lesser commitment to the US and therefore, Texas in the future, these students may be less competitive when compared to US and Texas residents. Obtaining US citizenship or having permanent residency with a plan for obtaining US citizenship is viewed by the committee as demonstrating a commitment to service of the people of Texas in the future.
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL SCHOOL AT SAN ANTONIO
Noncitizens without a green card are not interviewed.
TEXAS COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER
Non-citizens who graduate from a Texas high school may be considered as Texas residents in the admissions process. Applicants who are on a temporary visa or do not meet the requirements for Texas residency are considered non-residents. Canadian students are considered as non-resident applicants. In 2007 two international applicants were accepted from an international pool of 10. There are limited funding opportunities for international students through Texas Public Education Grants. Students are encouraged to pursue loan funding from outside sources.
