Narrative:
We were descending to hou in VFR conditions and they were landing runway 13R. While entering the landing data I noticed that the available runways were showing 12R and 12L. 13R and 13L were not a listed option. We noticed on the 10-9 that hou had renumbered/changed the 12's to 13's earlier this month. The database was showing current with an expiration of (date). I triple checked and compared the airport and runway information and data with the runway lengths found on the 10-9 and 10-9a. We both agreed that the only issue was a slight re-numbering of the runways and that otherwise there was no threat or hazard. We landed safely without incident. Upon landing; maintenance was contacted and the captain mentioned it to one of the local chief pilots. Later on; in a different aircraft; I looked at the runway data for hou. I noticed that 12 right and 12 left; as well as; 13R and 13L were an option for landing data. With the earlier aircraft in question this data was missing; yet still deemed current. There was an oversight somewhere in the update process.

Title: Air carrier First Officer reported that the performance computer only contained information for Runways 12L/R. The runways had recently been renumbered and the crew elected to use the Runway 12R data.
Narrative: We were descending to HOU in VFR conditions and they were landing Runway 13R. While entering the landing data I noticed that the available runways were showing 12R and 12L. 13R and 13L were not a listed option. We noticed on the 10-9 that HOU had renumbered/changed the 12's to 13's earlier this month. The database WAS showing current with an expiration of (date). I triple checked and compared the airport and runway information and data with the runway lengths found on the 10-9 and 10-9a. We both agreed that the only issue was a slight re-numbering of the runways and that otherwise there was no threat or hazard. We landed safely without incident. Upon landing; Maintenance was contacted and the Captain mentioned it to one of the local Chief Pilots. Later on; in a different aircraft; I looked at the runway data for HOU. I noticed that 12 R and 12 L; AS WELL AS; 13R and 13L were an option for landing data. With the earlier aircraft in question this data was missing; yet still deemed current. There was an oversight somewhere in the update process.
