The Houston Hotshots are a professional [1] indoor soccer team in Houston, Texas. They play in the Premier Arena Soccer League (PASL) [2] From 1994 to 1997 and 2000–2001, the Houston Hotshots were a full professional indoor soccer team in Houston, Texas. They played in the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL) from 1994 to 1997,[3] and moved to the World Indoor Soccer League in 1999 after the CISL folded.[4] The Hotshots folded in early 2001 after failing to attract new investors.[5] On June 28, 2015, William Alsobrook filed the necessary paperwork to revive the club and announced his intention to field a team in the upcoming Premier Arena Soccer League season.[6]
