Pecans obviously work around here. Are there others? I've been reading that two species of almonds can survive here if provided with well-drained soil and they get enough cool temperature hours. And what about jajoba native to AZ and other parts of the SW US? Seems that pistachios do better with 100 degrees days.

Pistachios most likely wouldn't do well in Austin/most of Texas (maybe far west?) at all because of the high humidity.

That's a shame, because pistachios are wonderful....

I've heard that some varieties of almonds and walnuts can be grown in Texas, but I've never seen them.

I think walnuts do well. My dad has some at his house in Tyler.

Not sure about Austin's soil conditions, but chestnuts, walnuts and hickory nuts are found in east Texas.
