His plays encompassed multiple theatrical genres, including musicals, dramas and comedies. In addition to plays, Houston also authored several works of prose, both fiction and non-fiction.Born in 1945 in San Antonio, Texas, Houston later moved to southern California, where he attended Los Angeles City College until 1964. At that time he left California for New York City to study acting. He worked for several years acting in off-Broadway productions with the Playhouse of Ridiculous Theater. In 1968 he returned to California, this time settling with his partner Larry Neal in San Francisco. From 1968 to 1977 he and Neal performed as the band Fleshtones.
