Question by Kilt_Master: How to Build a Basement in North Texas?
I have been told that you cannot have a basement in North Texas because of the loomy soil, limestone (acting as a sponge) and shallow water table, so the moisture content would not allow it.
What green ways to build a basement in such a place?

I would not! Take the money and build an out house for storage! The soil is prone to expansion and contraction, will crush the walls of the basement when it gets wet….and you will fight having water in basement from day one…installation of french drains really will not help that much…there is a reason no one builds basements in your area. !
