Right, cities in Texas aren't cheaper because they don't have zoning (they either explicitly do, as well as HOAs in new developments and all sorts of other NIMBYism, or they do in indirect ways like you mention).
They're cheaper because they can still expand outward more than SF, LA, NY, etc before hitting inconvenient geography. Lots of other places that benefit from this too, of course, not just Texas.
