Texas is unique because:

Texas does not have statewide zoning. Zoning authority is primarily delegated to local governments in Texas, allowing different approaches across municipalities. While some Texas cities have zoning, it is not mandated statewide.

In Texas, both state and local governments have land use authority. Local governments, not just the state, can implement zoning through their police powers, subject to state enabling legislation and constitutional limits.

Zoning is not prohibited by Texas state law. In fact, Texas has enabling legislation that grants local governments the authority to enact zoning ordinances. The decision to zone or not zone is left to local discretion.
