 Relocation to Houston are generally classified as either being inside or outside Interstate 610, known as the "610 Loop" or "The Loop". Inside the loop generally encompasses the central business district, and has come to define an urban state of mind. The appellation “inner looper” carries with it the expectation of someone who appreciates cosmopolitan-style city life.  Texas Beltway 8 also known simply as the "Beltway", encircles the city another 5 miles (8 km) farther out, is Texas Highway 99 .
 

moving to Houston Texas:  The city of Houston covers a land area of 1397.6 sq km (539.6 sq mi). Is the fourth largest city in America and Texas largest city in population and is the largest in the country without zoning laws, so businesses are allowed to operate within residential neighborhoods.  The City of Houston actually spreads over three counties: Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery. The city is in southeastern Texas and the seat of Harris County. Located at the head of the Houston Ship Channel, which links the city to the Gulf of Mexico.
Houston is also home to the largest health care center in the world. More than 4.5 million patients are treated annually at the 42 nonprofit institutions that comprise the world famous Texas Medical Center. Houston's population climbed from 1,630,553 in 1990 to 1,953,631 in 2000. The Houston Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area grew from 3,731,000 in 1990 to 4,670,000 in 2000, and 5.2 million inhabitants in mid-2004. Quoted as "the Most Popular City to Relocate," with more than 5 million people living in the Houston Metropolitan Areas. The city is the largest city in the United States which does not have zoning laws.

Houston's climate is classified as being humid subtropical. The city is located in the gulf coastal plains biome, and the vegetation is classified as a temperate grassland. Much of Houston was built on forested land, marshes or prarie, all of which can still be seen in surrounding areas. Average yearly precipitation levels range from 36 to 48 inches (900 to 1200 mm). Prevailing winds are from the south and southeast during most of the year, bringing heat from the deserts of Mexico and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.

In summertime, daily high temperatures are in the 90 to 105 °F (32 to 41 °C) range throughout much of July and August. The air tends to feel still and the humidity (often 90 to 100% relative humidity) makes the air feel hotter than it really is.  The coolest period is usually in January, when north winds bring winter rains. Snow is almost unheard of, and typically does not accumulate when it is seen.

Houston has four major bayous passing through the city. The Buffalo Bayou, which runs into downtown, the Brays Bayou, which runs along the Texas Medical Center, White Oak Bayou runs through the Heights and near northwest area and the Sims Bayou in the south of Houston merge in downtown Houston into the Houston Ship Channel. The Ship Channel goes past Galveston, Texas into the Gulf of Mexico.

Most of Houston is very flat and is about fifty feet above sea level in elevation; the Houston Heights area has the highest elevation in the city. The city once relied on groundwater for its water needs. Land subsidence forced the city to turn to ground-level water sources such as Lake Houston.

Houston's climate is often compared to that of Dallas, Texas. Dallas has a hot and dry climate while Houston has a hot and humid climate. While Dallas gets hotter temperatures, Houston's heat index is often higher.

Locations Houston city limits that are inside the 610 Loop traditionally used the 713 area code. Those outside the 610 Loop that are within the city limits normally receive the 281 or 832 area code. However, the geographic division between 713, 281, and 832 has been eliminated, and newly issued phone numbers especially for cell phones and fax machines, within that zone may be assigned any of the three codes. Areas far north, west, east and south of the inner-city also use 936 and  409

Utilities information moving to houston.
On Jan. 1, 2002, the electric utility industry's retail market in Texas was deregulated. For the first time in Texas history, residential and commercial consumers were able to choose their retail electric providers from a lineup of powerful competitors. Under deregulation in Houston, consumers can continue buying power from Reliant Energy, or they can switch to another provider. Reliant Energy provides a complete suite of energy products and services to approximately 1.9 million electricity customers, ranging from residences and small businesses to large commercial, industrial and institutional customers, primarily in Texas. Reliant Energy and TXU Energy have provided electric service to Texas families for more than 100 years. To compare the prices and services of retail electric providers (REPs), the customer should ask for the company's "Electricity Facts Label," which provides information on prices, contracts, sources of power generation and emissions. The Texas Public Utility Commission provides information about electric choices or call 866-797-4839 for more information.

CenterPoint Energy supplies gas to Houston area residents. Service requests may be completed over the phone or online. To apply for service and obtain information, call 713-659-2111
