Realistically it will be referred to as "the Austin-San Antonio area". I think the cities are just too far apart to be a true metroplex, even if Austin sprawled more to the south and the suburbs start to touch:
DT SATX to DT ATX- 80 miles
DT FW to DT Dallas- 33 miles
DT San Francisco to DT San Jose- 57 miles
Ain't no one I ever heard of call it "San Francisco-San Jose". It's the Bay Area. And the Census Bureau agrees, even though it's one continuous built up area, San Jose and SF are two separate metro areas. So, we don't have a bay in central Texas, but we will still be an "area", imo.

It's interesting how Philadelphia to Newark/NYC is similar distance to San Antonio to Austin but I don't think most people would think of them as their own area. Maybe because NYC is an anomaly of US cities and the Northeast Corridor is a different scale.
