Houston began her career in 1995 after being discovered by Peter Davy, an adult-film director, while she was dancing in the Tropicana strip club. She subsequently became a contract performer for Nitro, earning herself a $1000 per month salary, and then left for Metro Global Media.

Houston is most notable for her work in Metro's Houston 500, a movie in which she reportedly had sex with over 620 men without interruption on February 6, 1999. Before this event, she spent 45 days in jail after turning herself in to Ventura County law enforcement for an outstanding DUI charge. Houston's on-screen performances cater heavily to anal sex, double & triple penetration, fellatio, and lesbian encounters.

During 1999, she reportedly earned over one million dollars and brought in $20,000 a week from strip club appearances. Houston is also reported to have had her labia surgically trimmed to enhance her "look" during close-up video work. In a subsequent online auction, Houston reportedly sold her labia for an estimated $10,000.

Houston has a daughter whom she sometimes refers to in her online blogs and her former column, "Hangin' With Houston," for Adult Video Network Insider (AVN) in 2002-2004. She also has a twin brother who was in the California Highway Patrol. Her grandfather was Claire Weeks, who worked on the Disney movie Tinkerbell and taught animation in India where Houston's mother grew up. Houston also has two dogs, "Mojo" and "Marmaduke," American Bulldogs.
