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.

Basements are awesome and normally cheap square footage for a house but it is very expensive in Dallas with the foundation issues. Usually a floating foundation is used. If you want to deal with huge foundation renovations it is possible but cost wise it is just more efficient to build a bigger house above ground. I guess if $$ is no object and you want something like a wine cellar you can make it happen but even then it is a hassle to deal with foundation problems in addition to the money it cost.
