Just got off the phone with a friend and he told me that the spacestation should be visible over the houston area at around 6:55pm tonight.

I just came in from watching ISS fly overhead.

I have a few photos of the streak of light.

It was cool. It was very clear in houston tonite. It looked like a bright star moving really fast. No streak or anything. About 9 years or so ago we saw the space shuttle zoom by as it was coming in for a landing. That was even cooler.
