Even if you're not from Texas, as Lyle Lovett says; "Texas wants you anyway!" Lovette's affable lyrics couldn't better describe the laid-back country hospitality that epitomizes his hometown of Klein, Texas. Klein is an unincorporated community north of downtown Houston with Tomball to the north and the Champion's Area to the south. Other famous sons and daughters of the Klein community include actress Sherry Stringfield, singer/songwriter Derek Webb, songwriter Aaron Tate, and Olympic gold-medalists Laura Wilkinson and Chad Hedrick. Klein is located just north of an increasingly popular region characterized by explosive growth over the past decade. Growth in the northwest Houston are, mostly around the FM 1960 arc south of Klein, has made Harris County the fourth fastest growing in the country. Klein is served by David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport, one of just a few privately owned airports in the U.S. to have a Federal Aviation Administration control tower, and home to Civil Air Patrols Delta Composite Squadron.
