or Hobby Airport (code: HOU),
and rent a car.
Driving time from Houston to College Station
is about 2 hours.
There is also a shuttle bus mentioned at
www.groundshuttle.com, but there are very few rides each day and it is supposed to be booked in advance.
It is also possible to fly to Austin Bergstrom Airport (code: AUS). Driving time from Houston to College Station is also about 2 hours (longer trip but less traffic).
There is also a local limo company, www.edcravey.com, that will transport you to/from College Station and any airport in Texas.
