Which of these two options would place better in Houston? An Economics degree from UT (which is in the school of liberal arts), or a degree in Finance from SMU?

SMU by far. For better or worse, Houston banks will only recruit business students and generally won't even interview econ / other liberal arts majors at UT. Rice is the only exception because they don't have a business program.
That being said, I think it's fairly easy to transfer into the business school at UT if you have good grades your freshman year. At that point it's kind of a wash as to where you'd get better Houston opportunities
Check out the alternative Asset Management program's placement. It looks excellent. Also is the cost the same? In-state tuition at UT would make it worth it in my opinion.
