They have been spotted here before, yes. Mostly on the western fringes of the city, southwest, west, and northwest.
I've never seen one, and would rather not. I did see a coyote in front of our neighbor's house across the street earlier this summer.
My brother messaged me with this on Facebook in July before we went for a mountain bike ride that day. SATN stands for South Austin Trail Network. I've heard of them out that way before - around the Circle C neighborhood, around the Veloway, and the Lady Bird Wildflower Center.
Here's a map of that area where they spotted it. My brother and I have ridden there a couple of times. It's around 10 1/2 miles southwest of downtown.
