I think 2 hrs would be good enough. There usually isnt a lot of people at 4:30 am on sunday mornings.

1 1/2 to 2 hours should be fine if it were later in the day maybe a little earlier but 6:30 is pretty much when nobody is flying.

The recommended for international flight is 3 hours. Have a good trip.

Airlines state 2 hours prior for international flights.

Technically your flight to Houston is a domestic flight, only from Houston to Madrid is your flight considered an international flight. Most airlines do ask you to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight. For a flight that leaves at 6:30 AM you could probably arrive a little later than two hours before the flight without a problem. Even LAX won't be crowded at 4:30 AM, better early than late though.

you should arrive 2 hours beforehand to allow for check-in, customs, security etc and any "hold-ups" if the occur!
