I ask because I have a friend in Missouri whose father is a UT alum, who is a diehard Longhorn fan and has applied to UT for next fall. She will be number 2 or 3 in her class but I don't know what that means for out of state admission possibilities. I seriously hope she has a plan b and plan c in place but know she is dying to be a longhorn like dad.

I don't honestly know! I know 10% isn't actually the percentage of out of staters admitted, but the percentage of out of staters in the student body... if that makes a difference.
I would assume, though, based on those stats, that UT is trying to reserve around 10% of spaces (maybe a little less, because again, that 10% I believe includes grad students, most of whom will be from out of state) for out of state students.
I would guess it's about as difficult, possibly a LITTLE less, just a little, to get into UT from out of state as it is at schools for which it is notoriously difficult to get into out of state (UVA, UNC, etc.). At that point, even if you're an awesome student, it's going to be somewhat of a crapshoot.
