While the policy is undoutably good, it does not follow that all data
published actually conforms to it (for example third party rights in
existing data could be an issue).
In any case on data.houstontx.gov the licence is specified for 7
datasets, so I assume the intent is to do that for all over time (you
should ask).
The related problem is that you will need to obtain a waiver for CC BY
material as CC BY is in many ways more restrictive than the ODbL (see
https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/).
