Pages 32 and 33 of this document state-

“Applicants who are Texas residents are either admitted, “cascaded” to their second choice of major, offered Pathway to Admission through Co-Enrollment (PACE) or to the Coordinated Admission Program (CAP) at a UT System component school. Thus, Texas residents submitting a completed entering freshman application by published deadlines are never permanently denied admission to UT Austin. All non-residents compete with one another in accordance with the routine described above and are either admitted or denied.”

“Texas residents not offered admission are offered an opportunity to participate in Pathways to Admission through Co-Enrollment (PACE) or to the Coordinated Admissions Program (CAP). PACE is a new program initiated in 2013, offering coenrollment opportunities for Top 10% applicants not offered admission under SB175. CAP offers conditional admission as a transfer student after the completion of 30 semester hours on a participating UT System campus.”

So if you are a Texas resident and you apply as a freshman (not a transfer) you should at least get CAP. I have been to,d in this forum that PACE has been opened to those outside the top 10 percent since this document was published.
