Houston makes sense to me, for several reasons:

1) WrestleMania XXV is going to be a big WrestleMania. It's the 25th one, which seems like a landmark number to me. The WWE is going to want to make it a big deal. Phoenix, in my opinion, does not seem like a big deal location. WrestleMania X-7, which many consider one of, if not the, greatest PPVs of all-time, was also held in Houston. It's just a nice continuance, I think.

2) I get the feeling WrestleMania XXV will be where The Undertaker's streak is laid to rest. Doing it in Houston, Taker's hometown, is a great way to increase the emotional investment in the moment. Of course, I may be giving the WWE far too much credit for how fun they're planning ahead.

3) Texas fans are normally pretty markish. Smart crowds have died down a lot, as I think most fans have gotten sick of either following the WWE, or paying large sums of money to attend their events, but in a location like Houston, fans are morely likely to cheer a Rey Mysterio push, where if you go to New York City, a few fans may not be as accepting.

I mean, just a few of the positives that Houston will provide. I think Madison Square Garden would have been great for the 25th WrestleMania, but Houston makes a lot of sense, really.
