Locke in a statement in the Houston Chronicle claims otherwise:
Locke, who met with Hotze and sought his support prior to the Nov. 3 city election, said he was refraining from “divisive campaigning” and asked his supporters to follow his lead.What else could he say after he sought the endorsement of this man and then got it? If he rejects the endorsement he will piss off the voters he was seeking. If he accepts the endorsement he will piss off the other voters he was seeking. Tough choice for Locke. This is what happens when you play both sides and get caught.
You have to wonder did Hotze screen any candidates, send out a questionnaire, or conduct personal interviews like other legitimate organizations do? Did anyone else but Locke seek this man's endorsement with a personal interview? Did anyone besides Al Hoang, Burke and Locke accept it?
As the old saying goes, if you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas. If you like fleas, vote for Locke.

You got some facts wrong - Christie rejected the endorsement. As did Costello.
Also, Locke did not "claim otherwise" - he hasn't rejected it. In fact, his refusal to reject is a tacit acceptance of it.
Yes. Corrected the Al Hoang acceptance.
As the Chronicle stated:
"Christie, who is challenging Councilwoman Jolanda Jones for the council's at-large 5 seat, said that when he found out about Hotze's intentions to send an endorsement mailer, he called Bruce Hotze, Steven's brother, and told him he did not want to be included."
And
"Al Hoang, who is locked in a runoff for District F with Mike Laster, said he was proud to have Hotze's endorsement. Andrew C. Burks, who is running against Councilwoman Sue Lovell, said he welcomed anyone's endorsement in the race."
My bad.

That's really not how the old saying goes.
Its an old saying I just made up.
Got fleas?
