Your Math SAT is great, but the Reading score is a bit low for your top reach schools. On the other hand, your URM and 1st-generation status will help. It sounds like you have managed to make the most of the academic opportunities that your high school offers (ideally, you made this clear in your essays), and your ECs look solid to me.

Note that the UCs are notorious for offering very limited financial aid to out-of-state students; that might make attending difficult for you, even if you were accepted. You should be a strong candidate at A&M and a lock at UNT and Houston. The privates are harder to predict, since each has its own formula for weighing factors like URM, 1st-generation, economic and geographical diversity, etc. Still, I wouldn’t be surprised if you got an offer from at least one of your reach private schools.

I wish you the very best of luck!
