Well, I'll have to break it down to you; each of these cities have things that the others don't.
Houston: A very diverse city, you'll find people of all kind of cultures here. Has a great school, one of the top 20 overall schools in the country (Rice University). Has a decent night life, and is expanding on that as well, revitalizing it's downtown with more activities and shopping centers. Has great ethnic foods in almost every corner of the city. The Theater district is considered one of the best in the country, and the art gallery is also in the top 5 in the country.
The museum of Natural Science is a very fun museum, I always enjoy going there to see it, but there are 17 other museums that you can choose from.
Houston metropolitan area consists of the historical seaside town of Galveston, you can go to Schlitterbahn there, see Moody Gardens, go to the beach, and enjoy a very beautiful sunset at the beach.
You can see great monumnets like the San Jacinto monument in the Houston area, explore the different terrains in Houston, tall tree's in The Woodlands, the coast area near Kemah Boardwalk. Prarie's in other locations, and much more. Kemah Boardwalk is a good place to go to have fun, there are some rides there and a lot of activities. The downtown aquarium is a very nice to visit.
Shopping, go to the Galleria of Houston located in uptown, you'll have a great time there, it's a large mall with an endless amount of options. The food is great the people are nice, go ice skating there, many people do!

You can always go to Six Flags Over Texas!
You'll love the ethnic restaurants here as well, there's so many to those from!
You're not really adding much to the topic.
All three are great in cost of living. I think Houston and Dallas has more to offer so there cost of living maybe a bit higher. San Antonio has the better downtown but Houston and Dallas being a metro of 6 million and more have more amenities.
