About Houston
Oil and gas companies built gleaming towers across this Texas sprawl that lacks traditional zoning laws. NASA's mission control guides space station operations from suburban buildings here. Humidity hangs heavy most months, but air conditioning runs constantly in office complexes. The Port of Houston ranks among America's busiest, moving petrochemicals worldwide. Mexican food joints serve breakfast tacos before dawn to energy sector workers starting early shifts.
