Denwego has it exactly correct. And I would be very surprised if any Houston PD officers were not fully aware of this. A few years back I was told a story that I believe but might be more apocryphal than true.

Two officers were on patrol in one of the upper class neighborhoods in Houston. They got a call for an attempted burglary that had just happened with a young African-American male wearing a t-shirt and blue jeans running from the scene. There was a few more details in the description also, like height and weight. The were checking the neighborhood and saw an older African-American male wearing a jogging suit out for a jog. They stopped him and demanded his ID, threatening to arrest him if he did not identify himself. They claimed that they thought he might have been the burglar. They spent a few hours the next morning explaining to the Chief (through IA) why they had threatened a federal judge with arrest for something that was not a crime.

If I heard that one in the Austin area, I have to assume all of Houston PD would have heard it too.
