Seems they almost always telecast the Dallas game (if they have an NFC game locally), but the one time I want the game because of who they are playing they carry another NFC contest.

I think it is because Dallas vs. KC is an early game and in conflict with the Texans home game. I believe the rule is the Texan home game on CBS is the only one that can be shown in the Houston area in that time slot. FOX is forced into filling the late game (NO vs. Tampa).
Now, I'm pretty sure there have been instances when Houston has gone head-to-head with Dallas but I think it has to do with who's home/road and the
NFL double-header rule....
