How in the hell can that be legal in 2025!?!?!
Must be some hell of a loophole!
Didnât Texas just dismantle a Muslim only town? Arkansas should be able to dismantle this too.

That would be most of the Houston suburbs
With the exceptions of The Woodlands and Tomball, our suburbs are pretty well mixed. However none of them are set up in a way that is race exclusive. Class or economic exclusive would be what you see in The Woodlands and Tomball.

Bunker Hill, Hunters Creek, Piny Point (Memorial area) is largely a white suburb
Pockets of West Houston (Bridgeland, Fulshear, Richmond) are majority white
But yes the establish burbs (Katy, Sugarland, Cypress) have become mixed over the last decade or two

I guess I dont consider those areas suburbs. Much like I donât consider Bellaire, West U, and Southside Place as suburbs. Since they are like islands surrounded by Houston.
However, as I said, none of these suburbs have any racial exclusivity. They exclude people by class and economics, as you have to be able to afford to live there. So they are quite different from the communities discussed in the article I posted, whereas Firstandten was equating the Houston suburbs with those communities.
Technically, even River Oaks could be considered a suburb by definition. However, Houston has its own rules where people consider anything inside 610 to be the âcityâ.
I would consider everything outside the 610 to be proper suburbs, regardless of incorporated designation. People living there still work in Houston proper and access city services, amenities and entertainment.
Racial exclusivity doesnât exist in any American neighborhood because redlining and segregation are illegal. However, American suburbia is rooted in racism. Even after redlining became illegal, the generational economic affects still persisted along with white flight. So it isnât by definition racial exclusivity, but the system still perpetuated whiteness until more minority groups qualified for the 30 year mortgage / subprime in the 80s/90s/2000s.
So yeah I wonât argue the semantic definition of a suburb, thatâs very much a you do you situation. So historical and ipso facto racial housing discrimination is bad. Itâs very different than out and proud âWhite, and Attractive Cousins Onlyâ attempts at segregation.

Well technically, there are probably deed restrictions stating otherwise. I had bought a house in Braes Heights and was surprised that there were segregation era wording in the deed restriction. Crazy. They eventually got rid of it but it wasnât easy (expensive) So Iâm guessing other less well to do neighborhoods still have them around Houston.
They do still have wording in neighborhoods across America, but itâs not intentional.
Theyâve just failed to update them essentially
No Houston suburb is whites only. Some may be mostly white but nothing like the original post.

Is Tomball that much of an outlier these days ?

Any of those remaining restrictions in deed HOA restrictions are null and void since they have been supplanted by US law.
Just wondering, has there been problems with whites moving into mostly black communities like Freedmenâs town? Or has that been a thing? It seems like gentrification has taken its tolls.
From what I can tell, no one lives there and nothing has been developed. Itâs just 100 acres owned by a group of black families at this point.
Also, the concept doesnât exclude other races like the town in the OP.
