Narrative:
At kcxo airport (conroe-north houston); we were about to launch; and we were checking to see where the base of the houston class B airspace was; so we would know when we could accelerate from 200 kts to 250. The houston class B airspace chart showed that we were at lone star executive airport; rather than conroe north houston airport. I reported this discrepancy to jeppesen and to my company's flight technical programs manager. Our flight programs technical manager found that lone star executive airport had changed its name to conroe north houston. The jeppesen airspace chart needs to be updated with the current name of the conroe north houston airport. This is especially important because of the poor choice of the new airport name -- there already is a north houston airport; and it would be easy to mistake north houston airport for conroe north houston airport.

Title: Commercial fixed wing First Officer reported the Jeppesen Airspace chart needs to be updated with the current name of the Conroe North Houston airport.
Narrative: At KCXO Airport (Conroe-North Houston); we were about to launch; and we were checking to see where the base of the Houston Class B airspace was; so we would know when we could accelerate from 200 kts to 250. The Houston Class B Airspace chart showed that we were at Lone Star Executive Airport; rather than Conroe North Houston Airport. I reported this discrepancy to Jeppesen and to my company's Flight Technical Programs Manager. Our Flight Programs Technical Manager found that Lone Star Executive Airport had changed its name to Conroe North Houston. The Jeppesen Airspace chart needs to be updated with the current name of the Conroe North Houston airport. This is especially important because of the poor choice of the new airport name -- there already is a North Houston airport; and it would be easy to mistake North Houston Airport for Conroe North Houston Airport.
