I was able to get this result:
Houston, Harris County, Texas (longitude W95.4, latitude N29.8)
at this site:
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html
This is the site for the US Naval Observatory. It's designed to give rising and setting times for the Sun and Moon, but it also gives Lat-Long data for your town. It's easy to use, and unlike Google Earth you don't have to download or install anything.
In "Form A", just select "Texas" in the first drop-down list, type in "Houston" below that, and hit the "Get Data" button. The display will then show the info I listed above, along with sunrise/sunset times for the current date.
Good luck!

Why don't you go to google earth and find your location and point the mouse cursor there. You will get the exact latitude and longitude.

Two quick free sources: the TV Channel weather-forecast sign-ups usually give that. So will astronomy sites.
