re: what is early morning traffic like? East side of Houston?

So 6 hours should be enough time?

You should be good with 6 hours. It takes me 4 1/2 hours to drive BR-Houston (Cypress) in normal traffic with one pee/food break.

Check this before you leave as Texas does a lot of road construction at night and on the weekends. I-10 around Orange is a mess right now.

You will hit rush hour traffic coming in around 7am but will miss a lot of it by:

Taking Beltway 8 North (tolls and cops) when you get in town, then US 59 North to Will Clayton west then to IAH.

Safe trip.
