Any Officials in the Victoria, TX area?

You will not in your first year as a transfer. Especially if you do not get there and somehow manage to get on a crew before the picks.

I work in the second largest one. Plenty of first year transfers have worked varsity, and a few have made their way into draft (4A/5A) games, over the last few years. One of the guys on my crew, who came in 5 years ago after having worked in Kansas for 5 years, had 4 or 5 games his first year in -- but no draft games. In my opinion, he's one of the best wing officials in the chapter.

I think its a terrible mistake to deprive experienced officials varsity games just because they transferred in. I understand schedules being completed and the official being at the mercy of openings, but we all get better by putting our best people on the field. Any blanket policy of deprivation is BS.
