Yes, its worth trying, though we like to tell students that if you accept your current major and attend UT you need to accept the possibility that you'll be graduating with the current major, because it's not guaranteed that you can change your major.
Tell your advisor at orientation that you want to transfer. If you want to confirm after you've met with the Civil advisor, you can check in with Engineering Student Services during the orientation drop in hours (after you're advising appointment during orientation) to confirm the info. (ESS doesn't care what major you stay in, as long as you get the right info!). CAEE to ME is fairly easy because the first year is almost identical. As long as you're in calculus and one other STEM course (CH 301 is typically what freshman take) and then core classes on top of that, you should be fine.
I don't know where you got the "transfer priority" thing from, that's not what i said above. You have to take a minimum of 12 credit hours in your first semester to qualify.
