Barring a change of heart, the Houston Texans are likely staying in Harris County for the foreseeable future.

According to the Houston Chronicle, leaders in Harris County are working to keep the back-to-back AFC South within county limits as the team seeks to build a new headquarters for its players, coaches and staff. 

“I love sports and I believe it brings our community together, and obviously it’s a huge economic impact,” Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones told the Chronicle last week. I’m really energized by the new president, Mike Tomon, so I’m optimistic, and I really do hope that they choose our site (the county). 

“But we’ll see.”

Tomon, who was influential in helping the Dallas Cowboys build “The Star” in Frisco, was hired to replace Greg Grissom following the 2024 season. Given his background in entertainment and complexes, it was expected that Houston would soon look for a new headquarters that could bring with it an entertainment district with several retail options, including bars and a team shop.

CEO and owner Cal McNair said the Texans would also entertain other sites outside of Harris County but within the greater Houston area. Tomon also said Houston would explore all options before deciding on a location.

“The opportunities for us are to look and see what is the best situation for the players, coaches, team, employees,” Tomon said earlier this month. “As Hannah (McNair) mentioned, we’re not even all in the same space at this point. 

“So those are all opportunities that we have a chance to look at and make sure we’re in the optimal position in the future.” 

No decision has been made as of June. It’s also not expected to be made until sometime next offseason, thus leading to likely at least a year-long build-up of property before the team moves in officially. Right now, the Texans are the only team in Houston that doesn’t own their own complex following the Rockets’ recent build of the Memorial Hermann Training Center.

“It’s more the norm to move out,” McNair said earlier this month at the team’s annual golf event. “And when you do that, there has been some teams that have done it recently where they have development around there and so those are all things we are looking at.”

The Texans return to practice next week at NRG Stadium for vountary minicamp.
