* '''L&L 1937-11''':
** "After many years of seed sowing and gospel meetings, a small gathering of believers met to break bread in a new district about twelve miles north of here. This was a happy event, and with the hearty support and fellowship of the local assembly. Correspondent, Andrew Patterson, 1010 Boundary St., Houston, Texas."
** "During the past month two baptismal services were held in the local Hall when over twenty believers were baptized. Various ages, but a fine group of young men included. Some of them saved recently as a result of meetings held in tent (Bro. Robert Thompson), and also some of them saved at the Boys' Camp held near Dallas last July."
* L&L 1938-1: Houston, TX: "Pineview Chapel, 1010 Boundary St. Andrew Patterson, Jr., is the correspondent."
* L&L 1938-4: Houston, TX: ** "The assembly in North Houston, Pine-view, held a one-day conference recently. Ministry in hand of Bre. Wood (Australia), Dr. Johnson and Robt. Thompson. The new assembly outgrew its building and the day was one of thanksgiving to God for His blessing in the provision of needs enabling the Christians to extend their building to accommodate the Sunday School and Gospel attendance."
** "[[Alfred Perks Gibbs|Alfred P. Gibbs is having interest in Houston, Texas, speaking on "The Marvelous City of Mansoul."
* L&L 1938-6: The Pioneer Preachers' Page: ** State of Texas: "Reports from Texas tell us that our brother Robert Thompson is kept busy in and around Houston. He has recently visited Lufkin, 140 miles N.E. of Houston, where 200-250 gathered on a Sunday night to hear the gospel. He is also helping a new work 9 miles S.W. of Houston at Pierce Junction and another opening in the oil fields 45 miles S.E. of Houston."** Pine View District: *** "About eight years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Lammert of the Houston Assembly moved into a section, near Houston, known as Pine View. They began work for the Lord by opening their home for a children's class. Three years ago, they added a cottage meeting each week and a Ladies' Bible Class. On four different occasions, brother Thompson held meetings in their home. Some were saved and interest was increased." *** "A number of other Christians from the Houston assembly who lived in the district became more interested and a year ago they secured a building. This gave impetus to the work and a Sunday School was started. Within a couple months the school grew from 20 to 50-60 average and 74 as a record. Some of the boys were saved at the Texas Boys' Camp last summer and a little later 14 people were baptized and an assembly started."*** "Last October, a building was purchased and equipped for Sunday School and meetings. Within four months the Sunday School increased to 116, more than the capacity of the building. They have since added 30 feet to it and we hope to hear soon it has been outgrown."
