I have a flight from Dublin (DUB) to Houston (IAH) via Heathrow (LHR) Terminal 2. First flight is on Aer Lingus and the second is on United Airlines; both were booked on the United Airlines site at the same time.
Arriving at LHR at Terminal 2 at 12:40 PM, leaving LHR from Terminal 2 at 1:40 PM.
The Heathrow web (flight connection) site says it should take 1 hour minimum to make the connection, all in the same terminal, which includes having to go through security again. I have no checked bags.
Thank you!

Assuming that "booked at the same time" means both flights are on the same ticket, you will be fine. The ticket is your contract with the airline, who promises to get you to Houston and believes that this connection is realistic. If you miss the connection for some reason (e.g. delayed first flight, not a fault of your own), United will still get you to Houston somehow.
Also, at the times you have specified, there shouldn't be a lot of crowds at LHR, so you should make the connection just fine unless the first flight is delayed by more than say half an hour.

Yes, you should be OK. One hour is the minimum connection time at Heathrow Terminal 2. You can get some idea of how the connection will work here: https://www.heathrow.com/flight-connections
As long as the flights are both part of the same booking (as you indicate they are), in case of problems with the connection it is airline's responsibility to take care of you and put you on a later flight. The airline will only sell a ticket for a connection if they think it is feasible.
