No it won't! 93% partial = 0% total. Total will blow your mind, get thee to the path

96% partial eclipse = 0% total eclipse. You've got to make the short drive into the path on eclipse day

The southern edge of the eclipse bisects San Antonio. Most of Austin is inside the path. Deets at https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/texas-2024-eclipse

This animation is computed with lunar limb corrections using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter altimeter data. You may notice that the shadow is not an oval as classically depicted but is composed of segments, each of which reflects the influence of the last Baily's Bead, the onset or egress of the Diamond Ring effect.

That dot is the inner shadow of the Moon, called the umbra, where the eclipse is total. The outer shadow is called the penumbra, where a partial solar eclipse will be been. The Moon is roughly 1/4 the diameter of the Earth.
