According to Wikipedia there were 2 teams with that name. The newer team started in one league and when that league folded switched to another league.
1) 1972-78 Aeros WHL: Played in the World Hockey Association from 1972-1978 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Aeros_(WHA)
2) 1994-2013 Aeros: Started in the International Hockey League (IHL) in 1994 then when that league folded in 2001 they switched to the American Hockey League (AHL) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Aeros_(1994%E2%80%932013)
