Justice Carlton, a 6-foot-1 forward who played for the Texas Longhorns women's basketball team, has announced her transfer to the University of Houston. After two seasons at Texas, where she started 28 games and averaged 8.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, Carlton entered the transfer portal following the 2025-26 season. She gained recognition for her performance in the SEC championship game against South Carolina, scoring 15 points and earning a place on the SEC all-tournament team. Carlton joins a Houston team that struggled last season with a 7-23 record, including a 1-17 mark in Big 12 play. Notably, she will be joining her younger sister, Madison, who recently signed with Houston during the 2026 recruiting cycle. Carlton is one of three players from Texas's 2025-26 team to transfer, alongside guards Jordan Lee and Aaliyah Crump.
