The WCT Houston Shootout was a men's World Championship Tennis (WCT) affiliated tennis tournament played on indoor carpet courts in Houston, Texas, United States from 1985 to 1986. It was part of the Grand Prix circuit, as the two organisations merged tours in 1985. The tournament was founded by the WCT in response to the end of their 13-year partnership with the River Oaks International Tennis Tournament in Houston.
