@Alex Price Houston is a great place to live and invest, but geographically speaking it is massive.  @Jim Cummings and @Mitchell Benson are right that Houston has many opportunities both inside the loop, the suburbs and even out to adjacent areas of the city limits.  As an example, Conroe, Texas (just north of Houston) was ranked fastest growing city in America from 2015 - 2016!  

If you are moving to Houston for work I would recommend figuring out your personal housing that accommodates your work situation first.  Depending on where you land there is a good chance that investment opportunities are all around you, and you can work and invest close to home.  I live in North Houston and have at least 5 prime investment markets within 40 minutes of my house.  (The Woodlands, Spring, Magnolia, Conroe, Tomball).

Keep in mind your investment strategy (flood reno, long-term rentals, flips, vacation rentals condos, multi-family) as well, not every part of Houston will be prime for all the different type of real estate investments.

@Sarah Montes is right, Texas is Hot, both figuratively and literally ;)  Dallas and San Antonio are amazing markets as well.  If you have a solid investment strategy and some good connections you should do well.

@Alex Price. Your Question - "Which cities seem to be giving the best returns for rental income and appreciation in Texas currently without any signs of slowing down over next 5 years?"

Moving to Houston will be a good start! But the answer to your question is unknown and unknowable! Too many moving parts to be able to define with certainty what happens to any city within next five years. Having said that, I think you could start with the cities in and around Houston that have done well in the past: The Woodlands, Conroe, Spring, Katy, Tomball, Friendswood, etc, etc. 

Hopefully, more knowledgeable Houston investors will chime in and add to the list of possible good places to invest.
