HOUSTON—The overall economic outlook has again declined for Texas and Houston, despite some intermittent positive signs, according to NAI Partners ' recent industrial report. The oil and gas downturn is now manifesting throughout Houston beyond just those direct businesses. The hopes are that the oil industry will swing back up before the national economy slows, which remains solid despite some mixed numbers and slowdowns, says NAI.
