hello, Ill be draining my pool in half this weekend to cut cya down before summer this will be my first time doing this.

I’m in San Antonio, tx it’s been fairly dry the last few years, do I need to worry about the pool popping out? I estimate the pool to be about 20,000 gallons, I rented a 60 gallon per minute pump so I think I can do this in 3-4 hours. And immediately being refilling.
 
If you're confident that the ground water is below the depth you'll be draining, you'll be fine. To be entirely sure you could always dig a test hole nearby.
 
Draining half the pool should not be a risk to the pool. You will still have around 80,000 pounds of water holding the pool in place.
