The Houston Rockets is one of them. http://www.usa-flag-site.org/song-lyrics/star-spangled-banner.shtml The Texas Stars is another, but they are a minor league team. http://stars.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=420509 May 18 09, 10:57 AM

The Dallas Stars, who were, in a previous life, the Minnesota North Stars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Stars May 18 09, 2:41 PM

The question asks for "major league sports teams" the Texas Stars are the minor leage team for the major league team Dallas Stars. The Dallas Stars will hold a Rookie Camp in Frisco, Tex., from July 6-11. Many of the players at the camp will probably see action for the Texas Stars as their development progresses. The Dallas Stars 2009 Training Camp is scheduled to begin on Sept. 11 in Frisco, Tex., followed by the Texas Stars’ first-ever Training Camp that will begin on Sept. 22 in Cedar Park, Tex. http://stars.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=420509 So I was pretty darn close.

I added "major league" to the question because I figured there was probably a 'Braves' minor league baseball team in Texas somewhere, or perhaps Galveston Gleamings, Amarillo Ramparts, Rio Grande Red Glares, or some such nonsense. Texas Stars is a good "get" for someone who doesn't know hockey, especially since the link is from the major league club's site anyway. Well done! May 18 09, 9:32 PM
