Even if they fit the loading gauge (they don't, they're too wide), no company wants to risk damaging the unfamiliar equipment they're hauling by tugging it. If they go by rail, they'll load the train cars on to some flatbed cars and ship them that way. If they go by sea the whole way, they could just sail into Houston.
Houston is a big port - one of the largest in the US. I know, I was surprised too. No-one thinks of Houston as a port city, but the numbers don't lie. They could definitely get the trains in by water if they wanted.
