I hope so.
Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville (the old La Torretta resort on Lake Conroe) is set to open up this summer.

Texoma and WinStar would be cool, but I don’t see that happening for a classic. I don’t see many lakes in Texas that have a large enough convention center close enough and willing to pay the money, but I really hope to see it back in Texas sooner rather than later

Unfortunately the last time it was on Texoma there was a 7 fish limit and not a single limit was weighed throughout the entire tournament..... Doubt it will go back there. Also unfortunately, it’s now more about drawing crowds and their money than it is about the best fisherman so many, many great fisheries are passed over. I would like to see it go back to the “secret lake” format.....with today’s technology it could be a secret until the minute they launch, then be available online or broadcast.

I would think that isn't a good idea but it might not make any difference since it isn't downtown Houston.
