Harris county has Houston, which is strong D, but it also encompasses most of Houston's suburbs which are very Republican. So when you have a Democratic city with some equally large Republican suburbs you get about an equal number of Rep and Dem votes.
Harris used to lean R though, which I think has changed because the county as a whole has become a lot more diverse. Whites are only 32% of the population, so it's surprising that Republicans do as well as they do there.
