David Dixon was the original founder of the USFL as he began his pursuit of the USFL, as we know it, back in 1980. The league was formed and announced a press conference in 1982 with play beginning in 1983. You may find an interesting history of the USFL in Jim Byrne's book "The $1 League: The Rise And Fall Of The USFL." It is out of print, but your library or inter-library loan should be able to help you.

They have always been the Houston Texans. There were teams in Houston prior to the Texans, in the NFL (and AFL) the Houston Oiler (now the Tenneessee Titans). And in the USFL the Houston Gamblers.
The Oklahoma Outlaws of the USFL played their home games at Skelly Stadium in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
