The opening of Travis relieved Austin High School and George Bush High School,[6] with grades 9 and 10 immediately zoned to Travis,[7] and grades 11 to 12 continuing to go to Austin with a phaseout of one grade per year.[8] Travis became Fort Bend ISD's tenth high school.

The school's student council is known for bringing dogs in for stress relief dogs prior to exam week.[9]

Travis is located on Harlem Road, off Grand Parkway/SH 99[10] and surrounded by the Harvest Green neighborhood, a master-planned community by Johnson Development.[11][12] Directly to the north across Harvest Corner Drive are a number of commercial shops, including Subway and Kung Fu Tea. Additional shops are to the east across Harlem, including an Exxon.[13][14]

The south half of the campus property contains a turfed football field and track, a baseball field, a softball field, three practice fields, and 8 tennis courts, along with a field house.
