Technology Industry in Austin?

Currently working at a software company in San Fran. Obviously, this is the center of the technology industry and from a purely career based perspective I should stay.

However, for personal reasons (not to be discussed) it's likely that I'll have to move to Austin, TX.

My question is simple; how is the tech scene in Austin? It certainly doesn't rival the west coast, but is it substantial? Am I seriously limiting my career potential if I go?

All input is appreciated.
