Mannerism was 16th century Italian & I don't think Houston was even an idea yet!
If you go by Wiki's definition of Mannerist Architecture....
"An example of mannerist architecture is the Villa Farnese at Caprarola in the rugged country side outside of Rome. The proliferation of engravers during the 16th century spread Mannerist styles more quickly than any previous styles. A center of Mannerist design was Antwerp during its 16th century boom. Through Antwerp, Renaissance and Mannerist styles were widely introduced in England, Germany, and northern and eastern Europe in general. Dense with ornament of "Roman" detailing, the display doorway at Colditz Castle exemplifies this northern style, characteristically applied as an isolated "set piece" against unpretentious vernacular walling."

you could almost say that Heritage Plaza is Mannerist. It has a "set piece" at the top of the building.
Sorry, that is the best I can come up with!
