Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

I was flying westbound on my assigned routing and altitude on V68 over the MARCS intersection at 12,000 ft. MSL. I received a call from SAT Approach Control I had converging traffic to my right. I then saw an airliner, too very close. I took immediate action to dive and turn right to avoid the conflict. I reported to SAT what I did and then presumed my assigned routing and altitude. There was no discussion of the incident after the event.
