I was visiting a buddy in north Austin a few months ago and found this spot: 30.42851, -97.78158 (paste coordinates into Google Maps). It's a power relay or whatever back down a small dirt road in some trees. You'll have shade and a little cover / privacy from passing drivers and homeowners. It's probably best to use this spot just to sleep. But in my case, I killed an afternoon there waiting for my buddy and his wife to get back from work, and no one hassled me. It was quiet, peaceful, and shady.

I never boondocked in Austin, and I haven't lived there in 10 years or so
When last I was there, you would want to hide yourself, or driveway surf, the cops liked to 'move folks along'
When I was living in my car, I would sleep at truck stops and spend my days in the library if I wasn't working
There used to be a truckstop in Budda you could sleep in a vehicle at

As Art said, Austin cops are not known to be the warm, fuzzy type of cops. I think a lot of it has to do with the thousands of students going to UT. Worst case scenario is to ask a cop where might be a safe place to crash for a while. It's worked for me in the past, not in Austin tho, never tried it there.
Good luck. Rob
