Huston was named the best high school sportscaster in the state by Texas Monthly Magazine in 1999. He was honored 4 times as sportscaster of the year by the Lone Star Conference and once by the American Southwest Conference. He was inducted into the Howard Payne Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 and honored as their only 50 year letterman in 2013. Dallas was also presented an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree as well as the Alumni Medal of Service Award from HPU in 2008. He was inducted into the Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007 as well as the Gordon Wood Hall of Champions in 2012. Dallas has been featured on Texas Country Reporter and has also been named a Max Preps Chevy Hometown Hero.Recently, he was presented a Good Neighbor Award by the Brownwood Chamber of Commerce and also the first Dallas Huston Christ in the Media Award by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes which will honor media people for years to come. And last, but certainly not least, very little meant more to Dallas than having the Walk of Champions named after him at Gordon Wood Stadium.
Dallas also serves on the Board of Directors of Good Samaritan Ministries and he and his wife are on the board at the Central Texas Pregnancy Care Center as well.
Dallas loves to tell people that he is one of the richest men in the world, even though he has little money. His riches lie in his relationship with Jesus Christ and the work that the Lord has allowed him to do as pastor of Center City Baptist Church, the leader of his weekly Men’s Monday Night Bible Study and as host of his Sunday Morning Show on KOXE featuring Christian sports stories.
Dallas is also very richly blessed with his family of 4 children, Christian Huston and wife Hollie, Dena and husband Brad Fortune, Lance Rasch and wife Kyla, and daughter Valorie Huston. Grandchildren include Bailey and husband Bryant Mikeska, Bradley Boyce, Kambrey and husband Robert Moneyhon, Ashton, Avery, and Blaine Fortune, Cal Rasch, Britton and Brylee Boyce, and Hayden and Saeger Huston, as well as 2 great grandchildren, Bowen Mikeska and Presley Moneyhon. And then there is Linda. Dallas Huston freely admits that he wouldn’t be where he is today or be what he is today without her.
