My first thought was that he'd absolutely need/want a car and the price of shipping is short money. Parking at the Elan is free and the convenience of having your own car is priceless. Probably helps ones dating life too.
That said, Uber is pretty good in Houston as is grocery delivery. Several of the younger folks I work with do not have cars - - and they easily could buy one if they wanted too - - but they work long hours and when they go out, they're likely drinking with friends, so better to have a driver anyway. Typical rides are less than $15/trip.
Except for maybe taking the bus/shuttle from the Elan to the Med Center (to go to work daily), or maybe taking the light rail to the bars in mid town or downtown (or the dome), I would not want to ride public transportation in Houston. Mostly, because it's really hot out there, especially today. $1200 would be money well spent, IMO.
