There's a healthy thread in the Texas forum to cover the Eclipse in Texas:
2024 Eclipse - Texas

I had just assumed that the other regional forums had similar threads, but I haven't looked.

We plan to stay home. Where we live we should get about 2-1/2 to 3 minutes of totality, plus an hour of, "dusk," before and an hour of, "dawn," after it. I'm curious how the animals in the park will react; generally they are more active at night, so maybe we'll get to see more in action. And I'm also curious if our dogs will get confused and think it is bedtime...

There are several large bat colonies in the area. One is in a cave, and the experts don't think that those will be confused. However those that perch under bridges might... There are always crowds on the Congress Bridge in Austin waiting to watch them every night, and I'm sure it will be even worse for the eclipse. Close to home, the I-35 bridge over McNeil Rd in Round Rock has a decent amount, without the drama.

Most counties in/near the area of totality have declared disasters so they can have additional support on hand for extra traffic (and accidents). They are encouraging people not to go far.

Our weather isn't predicted to be the best for it. But even on a cloudy we still have dawn and dusk, so I assume we'll see what's happening. The weather people have also said that the temperature will drop and probably won't recover too much after (I remember this after past eclipse events).
