Q: Can Houston real estate law and private requirements interfere with how I use my property?

A: Yes, they can. Houston real estate law does not give you free reign over anything, and whenever you buy a piece of property, you are buying it as a piece of a private area (a neighborhood, apartment complex, etc.) and both Houston real estate law and the law of the area can govern how you use your property.

Houston real estate law also allows your property to be confiscated if you owe outstanding debt, or if you have a lawsuit against you. If you are paying off a loan for your house, then Houston real estate law says that if you fail to pay your mortgager you can lose your house.
