NASA isn't "split" between Huntsville, Alabama (not Huntsville, Texas), and Houston, Texas - they're just 2 of several NASA Space Centers. Kennedy Space Center is arguably the most recognized, at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, is one of NASA's key centers for rocket propulsion research and satellite instrument development.

Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, is NASA's key center for Astronaut training, and most notably Mission Control Center for NASA Manned Space Flight Operations. During a Shuttle launch, the mission is controlled by Kennedy Space Center until the end of the Launch Clock countdown; after the launch, the mission is handed over to Mission Control in Houston.

JSC's MCC is responsible for monitoring and controlling the International Space Station operations.
