The largest city in the state of Texas is Houston. It is also the fourth largest city in the United States of America following New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago .It is also the biggest un-zoned city in the US. This means that there are no specific zones with regards to what type of buildings go up in which area and this have effected a very large ground area with a smaller than expected population for its space.
Houston is so big in fact, that it is serviced by four airports. Two major ones and two regional ones. The George Bush International Airport is the biggest out of the four airports and is situated north of downtown and services most domestic and international airlines.
The second airport, William P. Hobby Airport is a little bit smaller that the George Bush International Airport. It is situated south of downtown and serviced by most of the domestic airlines. The two regional airports are Sugar Land Regional Airport and Ellington Field. Ellington field is not a commercial airfield and services in part to NASA, Texas Air National Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard while Sugar Land caters for the corporate private planes and jets.
If you are in Houston your best mode of transportation would probably be a car. There are many car rental places to hire from in the city and at the airports. The bus system, METRO is pretty good but as this city is so enormously big, it is impossible for METRO to be able to service all the areas.
Getting a taxi can also be very difficult. Make sure you keep numbers for local taxi services on hand so that you do not get stuck on the street waiting for hours.
