Why IAH-SEA is much more expensive than DAL-IAH-SEA

181,60 €

18:00 Dallas (DAL)
19:03 Houston (IAH)
Flight : 2168
Operated by : EXPRESSJET AIRLINES INC DBA CO EXPRESS

21:00 Houston (IAH)
23:26 Seattle (SEA)

I am not quite sure to understand why a flight with a connection (operated by another company) is nearly 50pc cheaper than part of the same direct flight??

Question: may I have trouble if I buy the cheapest ticket (DAL-IAH-SEA) and check-in at Houston for the 9pm flight?

Thank you for your advice
