Ive been there a few times for business. A great community!

http://www.yihouston.org/ this is the young Israel Shul that has daily minyanim. There is also a large chabad center there. Saba's Kosher Kitchen is excellent pizza shop.

Number one thing to do in Texas is shooting  8). There are many ranges and its quite cheap. I have also done biking in downtown Manhattan which is nice.

One more thing forgot to add. The entire bakery at the local Krogers is kosher!!

Visiting Houston today, enjoying the JetBlue $69 ow fares from a few weeks ago.
Was at two WM's and both had NON-working ATMs.
Also ran into a frum family who told me that the deli and ?restaurant inside the Randall's supermarket was under HK hashgacha.
They said, "if you follow that hashgacha".
Anyone with more info to share?
Thanks

Not really. NASA is more than an hour away. 
If it's rodeo season maybe but that's an hour away also.
