From the Requeim VSS:

The current court of Houston is actually originally the court of Galveston. After the hurricane of 1900 leveled Galveston the surviving court members left Galveston and invested their energies into the city of Houston. While there were a few vampires already present in Houston at this time they were swiftly brought under control or disappeared.

The court of Houston has since been controlled by those who lead the original mission to seize control of Houston. Vampires who have arrived since then have far to go in proving themselves.
