Comments
Wayland Baptist will play its first season of football in 2012 as a member of this conference. Photos of several different "prop" helmets have been seen at the university's web site since the coming of football was announced, but it is unclear whether any of these designs have actually been chosen for future use by the team. Members of the future team used blue helmets during practice sessions late in the year 2011.
Texas College was using a new helmet design in 2011 (shown above).

2001 was the first season for the Bacone team.

I have only very incomplete information for Langston and the dates of use for even the more recent helmets are uncertain.
In 2002 and 2003 the team used navy blue helmets shells, with a different "LU" logo each year (the 2003 logo shown in the photograph below). The 2002 logo may not have been worn during all of the team's games - "plain" blue helmets may have been used occasionally.
I think Langston may have used plain helmets several additional times in recent years, and the helmet logo presently used may be somewhat different from the last one depicted above (specifically I think the white outline around the logo may now be absent).

Texas College had a football team from at least 1950 through 1961, at which point the team was discontinued and not restored until 2003. The 2003 team may have been a club-level team rather than a varsity team.
*1 Helmet decals were absent during at least games #1 (August 27 at Belhaven), #2 (September 3 at Lamar), and #4 (September 17 at Texas Southern) of the 2011 season. The circular helmet logo was in use during the September 24, 2011 home game against Northwestern Oklahoma State.
