Certainly, Texas offers a number of prestigious programs for Psychology. Here are some to consider based on various factors such as faculty, resources, and national rankings.

1. The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin): UT Austin definitely stands out as one of the top psychology programs in Texas and nationally. Their psychology department is known for its rigorous curriculum and variety of research opportunities.

2. Rice University: Being a highly ranked university overall, their psychology program offers an excellent curriculum. Their strength lies especially in research, and there are ample opportunities for students to join faculty-led research projects.

3. Texas A&M University: The psychology program here has some highly regarded faculty members, and the university offers great opportunities for research and internship.

4. Baylor University: Baylor University's Psychology and Neuroscience department offers a variety of undergraduate research opportunities. Their strong emphasis on integrating scientific research and faith-based learning might be appealing to certain students.

5. University of Houston: Known for a strong focus on research, the psychology program at University of Houston provides a number of opportunities for undergraduates to get involved.
