I'm not sure many of the local shops rent anymore due to theft and crap. But it's worth calling a few to ask.
It also depends on where in Houston you'll be. It's, uh, large.

If you'll be inside the 610 loop, mostly on the north/west side, hit up Blue Line Bike Lab, or Urban Bicycle Gallery (google them for phone numbers) as they are more geared to that type of bike.
