(A number of the guys that I know who have decided hey, they really don't want to father children, or don't want to father any *more* children, have had vasectomies. I can give the names of 2 docs in the North Austin/Round Rock area that do a good job with vasectomies, and could probably come up with 4 more names in the Greater Austin area within 48 hours.)
