So would a state ordered evacuation count a unliveable? I don't see how one arm of the government would be able to say that everyone in an area needs to leave while another arm can state that the premises are liveable and pretend that they are using any sort of logic

Not mutually exclusive. Evacuations are typically due to imminent risk, not necessarily that the housing is unlivable once that risk passes. An evacuation can even be ordered when the house sustains no damage, as a precautionary measure. Evacuation != condemned property.

  That is true, but if the government orders you to no longer be in that area then you are legally unable to live in it, correct? On whose side does the damage fall when this occurs in Texas is my question. The tenant who has to pay rent for a good they can no longer use, or the landlord whose investment can no longer make money
