San Marcos, home of Texas State University, is almost halfway between Austin and SA...about 45 miles to SA, 40-ish to Austin. It's a nice city that has grown A TON because of it's central location. If you want to get a little closer to Austin, there are 2 up and coming communities along I-35, Kyle and Buda (pronounced "Byoo-da) heading north from San Marcos. They're both nice suburbs on the south side of ATX, with good schools and lots of growth. If you want to be a little closer to SA, but not super far from Austin, New Braunfels is a cool little town. New Braunfels is about 30 miles from SA and about 50 (an hour-ish drive) to Austin. If your business is on the southside of Austin, probably doesn't take that long...maybe 45 minutes?
Hope that helps...and yes, traffic is getting busier all the time. That area is one of the fastest growing regions in the country.
