Don't know about texas but it surprised the heck out of me in oklahoma when I had to call the city to shut off the water to my house while working on some pipes.

I'm from Texas and, almost without exception, our water shutoff is in a locked concrete box that is sunk into the ground (see photo below). You need a key to open it....

yep it was kept under a locked plate in the front yard turned off with a special shaped rod.
Every other place I lived had a way to do it in the house.

Anyway, what seems like a simple solution is not always so simple.

From a Texan: you dont get bbq at a steakhouse. You get steaks and grilled items. You get bbq at a bbq joint. 2 very different things.
