Houston Texans Brief History

The Houston Texans is a professional football team that hailed from the said city. They are one of the members of the Southern Division of the American Football Conference under the National Football League. The team is owned and chaired by Bob McNair with vice chairman Chuck Watson. The team joined the NFL in 2002 as an expansion team for Houston’s prior franchise, the Houston Oilers, which was also known as the Tennessee Titans.

The name “Houston Texans” actually underwent a survey.

After a month, the five names went down to three - the Apollos, Stallions, and Texans. Then after a thorough study and a series of surveys, owner Bob McNair had finally selected Texans. But before assuming the new name, he asked for approval from his fellow team owner Lamar Hunt to go ahead and use the moniker.

It was on September 6, 2000 when the Houston Texans was officially launched. This was done before thousands of people at the city center rally in Texas Avenue.
