Narrative:

Ellington tower pointed out traffic near our VFR entry point ahead 2 mi and at 1300 ft climbing. Short time later traffic reported at 1 mi and 1500 ft. I made a clearing turn and saw what appeared to be a king air pass about 200 ft below me. I was surprised that the king air was not in contact with efd tower when at that position (in fact king air supposedly was in contact with houston approach control). Good job of pointout by efd tower.
