Fullers Vintage Guitar on 610 loop as the name suggests they deal mainly in Guitars and specialize in Gibson Accoustics. They have a good inventory of Deering Banjos. But not many mandolins really no one in Houston does. Great Southern Music on Highway 6 on the West side about 5 miles from I 10 has been around for years and Kevin was for many years the only authorized Martin repair in the area. Rockin' Robin inside the beltway nearer downtown has had a variety of vintage guitars of all types a cool store to browse.
By the way I live in Cypress on NW side. There is a show and/or jam almost every weekend within 50 miles of downtown 2 on North side one on south if you PM me I can give you a couple of web links.

Rockin Robin had a few Collings on the wall last time I was there.

Evans Music another on Westhimer long time shop has a lot if sound equipment.
Mike at Fullers ficused on the Gibson accoustic after the flood in Nashville limited the supply of instruments.
As previously stated, Fuller's is really a great shop. If in you're in town on a Wednesday, there's a bluegrass jam at Hickory Hollow BBQ that is a lot of fun.
