Actually, if we are just talking Dallas vs. Houston, then the suburban growth patterns are a little bit different.

The Northern burbs in Dallas are booming and the migration just keeps spreading towards Oklahoma! First it was Plano. Then came McKinney. Now it's Allen and points beyond.

Suburban growth the South and East is much slower. Even suburban growth to the West towards Fort Worth is slower (Grand Prairie).

In Houston, the suburban growth is much more spread out. You have booming areas like The Woodlands (North), Cypress (Northwest), Katy (West), SugarLand (Southwest), Pearland (South), League City (Southeast), and Kingwood (Northeast). The only area that is slow to grow is the Eastside and that's because it is largely not capable to hold sprawl with the Port, Upper Galveston Bay, Trinity River basin, and refinieries limiting land options.
