Questions
Questions About Houston
- Does Houston in Hotel Trace include the outer counties?
- Yes. It takes in the whole metro, not just the city, so a hotel in San Jacinto County can make the same list as one in Harris County.
- How current are the Houston figures here?
- They run through the second quarter of 2026, the latest quarter the state’s full file covers, and this page was updated October 5, 2026. Inside Hotel Trace, monthly filings for Houston arrive about a month after each month ends.
- Where do the Houston figures come from?
- From the hotel tax filings reported to the Texas Comptroller for Houston’s counties, added up by quarter as reported, leaving out booking platforms’ city-by-city returns.
- Where do owner records for Houston hotels come from?
- From county appraisal records, in the Houston counties that publish them, and the people behind an LLC from the state’s business records, where they name them. A phone number and email come only when you ask, where one is on file.
