Check state and local code amendments. OP is in Texas which is right next door to us here in Oklahoma. I know Oklahoma has a statewide code amendment that has also been adopted by many municipalities in the state, prohibiting more than 8 outlets on a 15A circuit or more than 10 on a 20A circuit.
Since we have LED lighting now, I have checked with inspectors in Wagoner County as well as City of Tulsa regarding increasing the amount of lights on a circuit beyond these numbers in the local codes, and in both locations the AHJs said they still want more than one lighting circuit for the whole house, but otherwise it's fine with them if you put as many as you want on the circuit as long as they're all LED lights.
