RE: [HoustonScan] Re: W I-10 Radios
West I-10 and West Harris Co. EMS are also going to UHF and getting off the County 800 system. I don’t know the freq’s yet for their UHF channels. I thought I was told July 1 but I guess that maybe has been changed.

There's an update in the works, but here goes with a quote from another scanner group:
