Uhh Dallas-Houston is more like 3 hours driving? High speed rail at that distance is completely viable. Taiwan runs HSR up and down their entire island for a total system length of like 350km (same ballpark at Dallas-Houston), and they do it with like potentially up to 8 stops. I won't argue about the time to takes to get to and from the station - last mile connectivity will be portion of the viability of this.
