we have a locale in Dallas (INC, so I don't know if you share the same faith). but i'm sure there are alot of Filipinos in San Antonio. (we also have a local there, mostly Filipinos)
I grew up in the Dallas area, but it's about 3.5 hours away now. San Antonio isn't bad... about an hour and a half. There is Austin society for Filipinos, but the web page hasn't been updated in like 5 years and they don't respond to emails. I talked with the Filipino Student Association at UT Austin and there are about 160 of them with only a few knowing Tagalog, and not enough interest for them to have classes I don't think. But I think there is a petition to have courses at UT, which is good.
not much in Austin? in San Antonio, well for the rest of Texas, when I was there there were mostly Mexicans, but I was surprised, in the River Mall, when there's several family who sat down and started talking in Tagalog.
