Narrative:
I departed hou on runway 35 having been given departure instructions to maintain heading 300 at or below 3000 feet. After takeoff; when I was instructed to contact departure; the controller was quite busy. I attempted an initial call during the first pause in communication (approx 15 seconds on frequency). The controller was unable to reply due to other priorities. I called twice more during the first available breaks. My third call was answered. By then; I may have passed through a stadium tfr over the astrodome. I did not think it wise to deviate from my assigned heading of 300 to avoid a stadium tfr.
