It can be done but it won't be easy.
I also went to law school in Houston and continue to work downtown. Recommend having your school’s career resource center connect you with alumni who are in-house, and start networking directly with them. Going directly in-house is a narrow path but there are still plenty of opportunities, and if you don’t have any summers left, direct contacts may be your best bet.

What did you do prior to law school?
I worked in HR for a hospital
Rising Star
I don’t know any lawyers who make less than $100k, fwiw.
The majority of first year lawyers make less than 100k their first year.
A lot of people graduate law school every year
I’m in-house in Houston. FWIW, the likelihood of my company hiring someone directly out of law school is zero. The same is true for our industry peers. And offering to work for only $100k probably isn’t going to change any minds.
