I have someone in my Houston office with her house and family near Austin. She normally does the "weekly" commute. She does pay on a shared apt in Houston also. I know some others. What are your questions?
As an aside, I have done Houston to Austin in just at 2 hours.
I prefer the IH-10 to TX-71 route (or southern route) versus the US-290 route (northern route). Less stops on 10/71 and I am normally going to south or central Austin from south or central Houston. If I am doing Woodlands or RoundRock type of drives I'll go north. North seems to have more stops and traffic overall IMO.
Are you in the Geography Dept? I did my undergrad there and we had some grad students doing similar studies. Just curious. This was a long time ago LOL.
Ciao,
