Being a Texas resident when applying to UT Austin is advantageous in terms of admission because automatic admission is granted to students of a certain high school rank. About 75% of UT Austin's resident spaces are reserved for residents of Texas.
In terms of financial aid, students who are residents of Texas are eligible for state grants and loans. UT Austin gives a decent amount of grants to Freshmen and loans with little interest every year after that. This financial aid is a good thing to have because the tuition rates at UT Austin slightly increase each year.
Also another advantage of being a Texas resident that applies to UT Austin is paying in-state tuition in comparison to a hefty out-of-state tuition. UT Austin is an expensive state school if a student doesn't apply for financial aid or outside scholarships. If you are from out of state, you should try to establish residency.
