That's not true. It's correct that Houston's building restrictions aren't referred to as "zoning", but Houston absolutely has regulations and ordinances that produce the same effect [0][1].

Thanks for the correction. I had heard the story from friends who moved there years ago.

No worries, I had heard the same after a chemical plant in Houston exploded and devastated some nearby residential property. It wasn't until some of the urban planning youtube channels I watch (including the one I linked) focused on Houston that I learned the details behind the "Houston has no zoning regulations" factoid.
