Nolabear suggested going to a crisis hotline, or something like that. I know that funding for many of these have been cut by the repubs across the country. But I would hope Austin has something in place still. Or someone who is in Austin might help him; but he may be offline for the night, if he has no place to go. I know it's getting to be about 10 PM there.
