Houston Spring Trends Embargoed?

Does anyone know when the Houston/Galveston Spring Arbitrends are coming out? Or have they been Embargoed again? Normally, they come out the same day as Dallas/Fort Worth or the day after. And, Dallas's came out yesterday. When I called them up on R&R's website, it says "TBA" on the release date. Does anyone know what's going on here?
 
Was wondering that myself. I think it has something to do with the fact that Houston doesn't get trends in the traditional sense anymore. They get PPM Weekly numbers and then a monthly number...or something to that effect. But will they ever publish an overall 12+ number or it's equivelent?
 
Pretty sure there are no trends for the Spring book... and once that book comes out, everything prior to it will be completely discarded (no more 4-book averages til next year). Pre-PPM data will become worthless and unsellable. Trends will resume in the Summer book.

There is no Spring book. There are April and May reports as test data, and then the June report is the first "official" PPM report. The report covers 28 days, and there are individual weeklies for each 7 day period of a report, too. There is no rolling average, there is no 12 week report. One week is as accurate as the 12-week diary based book. There are no trends, either.

After the May report, there will be one new one every 28 days, or 13 a year. The 13th is called "Holiday" and is from mid-december till about the second Wednesday in January.

You are correct on your assumption. There will be 12+ numbers, I believe, once the June report comes out.
