No, the sun is never directly over any point on earth north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5° north latitude and 23.5° south latitude respectively.

Houston is located at around 30 degrees North, so the sun will always be towards the south of overhead. On June 21st at noon, the sun is only 7 degrees shy of shining ''directly overhead", namely at 83 degrees above the southern horizon. This is pretty high up, in fact much higher than it ever gets in Europe.

What is the the opposite of cancer?

The Tropic of Cancer is an east-west line on the map representing the northernmost place where the sun is ever directly overhead. It is debatable whether there is any such thing as the "opposite" of a line. But you could say the counterpart of the Tropic of Cancer is the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the line that is the southernmost place where the sun is ever directly overhead.
