Narrative:

I received a hand off on aircraft X going direct pez. There was a blue route in the uret and since the aircraft was landing in sat approach airspace; I applied the routing. The uret; strips; and flight plan read out showed the aircraft over flying marcs-pez; but the route on the radar screen showed the aircraft flying marcs-sat-pez. Since there is no way for me to know what the sat approach controller showed for the route; I passed the route that was issued to the aircraft (marcs-pez) to the sat controller. This has happened before to me and I turned the information into management and have yet to hear back on a fix or cause. The showing of different route/readouts for the same aircraft is unsafe; causes additional workload; and could lead to a deviation; error; or worse. The problem needs to be corrected; all the information we see as controllers should be the same.

Title: ZHU Controller described a confused routing event when information provided by URET did not match that displayed on the RADAR equipment and possibly the Approach Control data.

Narrative: I received a hand off on aircraft X going direct PEZ. There was a blue route in the URET and since the aircraft was landing in SAT Approach airspace; I applied the routing. The URET; strips; and flight plan read out showed the aircraft over flying MARCS-PEZ; but the route on the RADAR screen showed the aircraft flying MARCS-SAT-PEZ.
