Color similarity with the Atlantis aside, what strikes me is the fact that the Sam Houston shares Sam Hilborne's significantly up-sloping top tube (not to mention cantilevers, gobs of tire clearance, and all- rounder aspirations).
I don't know whether it's an "imitation" or just curiously "coincidental," but the similarities are clearly there in both moniker and design.
