It is a peculiarity of how houses are built in Texas. A lot of Texas has clay a few feet underground. This clay soil is vulnerable to trees sucking up water which leads to foundation issues. Some homes have root retarders to prevent this. https://www.texasinspector.com/files/Structural-Slabs-FPA-SC...
Another Texas problem is that the sewer gray water line is placed relatively shallow. I had neighbors who to pay a crew of dudes shoveling like mad to unearth the sewer line so the plumber can repair it. The most common reason was roots from a large tree. https://www.metroflowplumbing.com/detecting-and-preventing-t...
