Our daughter was also a high profile grad from a competitive school who was automatically admitted to UT (she was top 4% of 1350 students with a heavy math/science AP curriculum) but chose to go out of state due to the scholarship offered at OU. We aren't originally from Texas so not an issue for us, but many of our friends were very surprised that she would turn down attending UT (and paying for it...) vs having her education paid for at a different school.
