Boutique MM IB to HF?

I know that Houston is the city for IBD in Texas, but Dallas has a handful of boutique MM energy shops as well. I want to stay in Dallas and my goal is to land an analyst job at one of the many HFs in Dallas after a few years (or top 7 b-school -> HF) - would I be able to get these sorts of exit ops from one of these boutique IB shops?
