I actually think you have a good chance of being accepted and I don’t say that often. For CS acceptances, they do look for that perfect math score and CS ECs which you have. You have the rank. Since UT has to fill 75% of the slots with in state, top 7% ranked students, the number of slots that you would be competing for is limited, so there is no guarantees but you have everything they are looking for. As long as your essays were decent to good, I think you have a good chance.

I hope you applied to Turing Scholars as well. I think you would be a good candidate.
