Starting MM PE internship next week and have no clue what to wear

Just what the title says ... it’s a fairly large firm based in Texas. On one hand, it’s Texas so not sure whether to go with a suit or business casual ... I could end up looking like a total idiot wearing a suit while everyone is wearing polos, etc. On the other hand, the firm is mostly ex- NY BB IBD people so maybe they are expecting business professional? I’ve also gotten no communication about dress code.

What would you guys do in this situation?
