Well, Harris County with 4.5 million residents is by far the largest component in the Houston metro. Almost all the major economic engines for the region are located in Harris County. The other Houston area counties(Montgomery County has gdp around $25B BTW) are mostly bedroom communities with far fewer economic drivers than Harris County. Harris is geographically almost twice a large as the other heavily populated Texas counties such as Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, or Travis.
