3 communities compared — 15 shuls, 2 kosher stores and restaurants, 10 day schools and 2 mikvaos on the map.
Texas has two established Orthodox communities, in Houston and Dallas, and a small, growing one in Austin. Houston's is concentrated in Meyerland and Fondren Southwest — seven shuls across Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Chabad minhagim, two day schools and a full kosher supermarket, with some of the most affordable frum housing in any major American city.
Dallas's community is in Far North Dallas, with Modern Orthodox, Sephardic and kollel congregations, kosher shopping and day schools clustered along Churchill Way and up toward McCallum Boulevard.
Austin, the fast-growing capital, has a much smaller community around Congregation Tiferet Israel in Northwest Hills and Chabad on Spicewood Springs Road, with a mikvah near the University of Texas — a choice for technology families willing to build more of their Jewish life themselves.

ShulMap maps 3 Orthodox communities in Texas: Houston, Dallas and Austin. Together they have 15 shuls on the map, plus 2 kosher stores and restaurants, 10 day schools and 2 mikvaos. Each has its own page with a walkable shul map.
Houston has the most on ShulMap, with 7 mapped, followed by Dallas (6) and Austin (2). Shul count is a rough guide to community size, not to fit — a smaller community with a daily minyan near housing you can afford may suit a family better than a bigger one.
By the US Census median home value for each community's ZIP (2020–2024), Houston ($432,600) is the most affordable in Texas, followed by Austin ($903,200), and Dallas ($931,500) the most expensive. These are ZIP-wide figures as valued by owners — asking prices usually run higher, and each relocation guide says which sections cost what.
ShulMap has mikvaos mapped in Houston and Austin. Day schools are mapped in Houston, Dallas and Austin. A community without one on the map may still have one we have not added yet, and families commonly use institutions in a neighboring community.
It differs community by community, and ShulMap never infers one. Each community page carries its own eruv detail with the source and the date it was last checked. Always confirm with your local rav or the eruv hotline before carrying on Shabbos.
Walking distance: Walking-distance circles are approximate and do not assert a halachic standard. Confirm what is walkable for you locally.
