Narrative:
Tower cleared my aircraft for takeoff on runway 35L at dwh without delay for landing traffic. When I rolled my aircraft to the runway center line; I noticed another aircraft exiting the runway that hadn't cleared. I queried tower prior to starting my takeoff to ask if the aircraft cleared the runway; and tower directed me to disregard and start my roll. As I neared that end of the runway; I noticed the aircraft had not exited the runway. Another aircraft was on the runway while I was taking off causing a close encounter.
