Default Local Houston area (Or Texas) Custom seat maker???

So I have literally tried 7 or 8 seats now on my 2009 Street Glide. Went from stock 2009 seat.. to a Mustang seat... to a stock 2013 seat.. to a sundowner seat.. to a Corbin Gambler.. to a Corbin dual tour.. there's another one or two seats in there somewhere that I cant even remember. Now that I've tried every seat in existence I know what I want. I love how firm the corbin is and the look. but the last two have not had the best seating position and it has been hard to touch the ground. I know what I want and want to finally get a custom made seat that I can ride in and try out and sit on while it's being made. Anyone know someone in the Texas or preferably Houston area that does great custom seat work from scratch? I would love to get a custom C&C seat or a Corbin seat.. But both of them are nowhere close to Texas and I definitely want to do a ride in appointment so I can get it correct this time. I ride 2up a lot and she is picky as well. Very hard to get something both of us call "right". the guy at the Lone Star rally that does custom seat work on the most southeastern end of the strand every year does great work but I didn't pull the trigger like I should of while we were there. Have no idea where he is in the United States on a normal basis or what business it was. Just trying to find a reputable company that can make a great seat and preferably firm foam Like corbin.. stock seats, sundowner, and Mustang all too soft

+1 on B&B Upholstery, He has reworked a couple of seats for me , all were good. Still have my solo cop seat he recovered and reworked the foam. I have about 66,000 miles on it now and counting. Brandon is good people, and also rides Harleys.

I had this guy do one for me

http://www.thunderheaddesigns.net/aboutme.html

After looking at his website, I was afraid he was all show and no comfort, but I gave it a shot.

I think he used gel in my stock 2012 road king basket weave seat ... Whatever he used , no more complaining about my butt hurting after 100 miles.
