It's 100% a soil thing. Too much clay in the ground and clay shifts. Foundation issues with basements.
I have never seen a basement in Dallas. Maybe a backside of a home because it is on a hill but not a real fully below ground basement.

They exist but only ones I have seen are in the park cities where I grew up. (Beverly Hills of Dallas) one of my friends dads had a full on parking garage and wine cellar basement which was pretty sick lol. I don't think there was much clay in their area though, looked more like flagstone.
But yes it's rare in Dallas or other parts of Texas, no real need for basements anyways.
