Austin is about 2 hours away from Houston and 3 hours away from Dallas.
A team in Austin would be awfully parasitic from an overall league health perspective. They're not likely adding new fans - they're just shuffling them around a bit (if at all - Dallas fans in Austin aren't going to become Austin fans over any sort of reasonable timeline).
Moreover, I have some family down there and Austin's really busting at the seems a bit. Their growth will almost have to plateau shortly or they're going to implode from a pure livability standpoint.
I don't think Austin's as obvious a candidate as you would think.
