Longest win streakFC Dallas: 7 wins (2013–2015)
Current win streakFC Dallas: 1 win (2019–)

The Houston Dynamo clinched the 2006 series with a win on August 12, 2006 and the 2007 series with a win on August 19, 2007. FC Dallas claimed the 2008 series on the away goals rule, after having tied with Dynamo in all three games played that season. The away goals rule is no longer used as a tiebreaker.

Both the 2016 and 2017 series were tied, the first since 2008 and the first since the tiebreaker rules were changed. Houston won the 2016 series on goal differential. The tiebreakers couldn't separate the teams in 2017 so Houston retained El Capitán.

Since the beginning of 2013, the teams have met 19 times. During this seven-year period (2013–2019), Houston has won only 2 of these matches while Dallas has been victorious 11 times, including a 7-match win streak.
