I think we may a couple Swallowtails here. The false eyes are a giveaway. Caterpillars do change color as they go from the egg to cocoon. I found some very similar ones for a Canadian Swallowtail. Only problem is that the butterfly does not get down this far south and I have two of them. So I asked the friendly folks at the Austin Butterfly Forum and they told me that it looked like the caterpillar for the Tiger Swallowtail.
A quick search confirmed it.
