Whether you are into gi or no gi you are going to build a great base at any one of these places.
Phil Cardella at Relson Gracie (
http://www.gracieaustin.com/) If you have seen Phil's fights in the WEC you know his guard his crazy good and offensive.
Phil:
Austin has some legit black belts...Dave Thomas at Austin jiu jitsu...BB under Travis Tooke.(

Dave:
Vandry Jiu jitsu (
http://www.austinbjj.com/) Apparently the guy is big dude and a leglock master and I have heard his name thrown around alot down here...don't know much of him than he is a BB under Carlos Machado.
Good luck. Best thing is to drop by each and try a class or prioritize by location and feasibility.
