Our OCI applications have been approved in Delhi and I expect them to arrive in Houston in about a week. We plan to drive there and pick them up from the consulate in Houston.
Sometime back, I had lost a small folder in which I think my 4 year old daughter's PIO card was stored. I had applied for her OCI card as an "upgrade" from her already existing PIO card.

My questions are:
1) What documents are needed to pick up the OCI cards? (I'm aware of only my wife and my Indian passports, and U.S. passports of us all which will be stamped with the U Visa)
2) Is anything else needed? (Other than the registration/file numbers)
3) Will they ask for my daughter's PIO card? (Which I'm not able to locate... It maybe lost)
 
You need to send the following:
1. The latest India passport you held
2. Your brand new US passport
3. If you had a PIO card, you have to enclose the original PIO card too.

If you've lost the PIO card, first file a police complaint about the loss, and then send a letter to the Indian embassy along with a copy of the police report. And, when you send your India/US passports for OCI stamping, send a copy of this letter+police report in lieu of the PIO card.

I am guessing that this will do. Any other advice from fellow forum members?
