Rangers/Mavs/Stars on FSN in Houston?

I'm a DirecTV subscriber, and here's what I've noticed:

Rangers - for FSN broadcasts, games are on FSN alternate station

Stars - the same

Mavericks - their FSN broadcasts are always BLACKED OUT

Does anyone know why the Mavs get blacked out in Houston while the Rangers and Stars are always on?  I'm tempted to call DirecTV and ask, but I don't want to risk losing my Rangers and Stars games in case I'm not supposed to be getting those.

Any explanation would be much appreciated.  Perhaps it's something to do with each league's TV agreement?
