Your question is too general to be answered here. It is not clear if you are referring to personal property, real property, property taxes, age restrictions, local zoning laws, use restrictions, etc. The Texas State Revised Code is available online. You might want to have a look and see if you can locate the info you need.

Property tax is approximately 1% of the property's value per year, but it can reach 2% in some areas. Texas has the Castle doctrine of self defense.

There are hundreds of pages written on property law, covering everything from how contracts get written to mineral rights to land disputes, even just for one state. You need to ask a more specific and detailed question or sit down with a real estate attorney when you get there. Sorry.

Are you referring to personal property, real property, rental property or another type of property? The Texas revised code is available online, but if you have a specific question or dilemma, you should contact an attorney for reliable guidance.

Texas has high property taxes of 3-6% of the house value, depending on what city you live in. It has strong legal rights for Home Owners' Associations, including their ability to foreclose on a house for which HOA dues are not paid.
