Tegna, ownership group of KHOU, had a news report that the news studio for KHOU was setup at a "PBS station in Dallas", with satellite uplink to KUSA (Denver).
Master Control is running at KUSA Denver for KHOU service area, with satellite back to the transmitter for KHOU.

According to the FCC filing, the transmitter is located SW of Houston near Fresno, TX at 29deg 33min 40secN  95deg 30min 4sec W Google Maps does show a tower there.
