Many years ago...decades ago...in the city limits of the town that I live outside of now, First Baptist Church off the downtown square had an indoor gun range in it's basement. The city judge had an outdoor pistol range in his own backyard that he used with a berm and everything. All of this was within the city limits of a small Louisiana town of about 20,000 people.

I just figured if big indoor gun ranges all over Houston could do it , so could one person wanting one little private lane in an enclosed garage or basement for themselves would be able to do it.

The closest one to my parent's home is Full Armor Gun Range. But you have a range fee, have to drive down under-construction Dairy Ashford, etc.

I guess I'm so used to stepping outside the back door and firing away at my own place in the country in Louisiana that that's kind of what I wish I had. Take 20 minutes to reload some rounds at my reloading station, step out back, try them out, go back in, reload a few more making adjustments, step out try them out.

There is so much more freedom in the country being able to do what you want on your own property. (one of the reasons I left Houston)

I actually just did a cursory check of the Deed Restrictions online in PDF. No mention of firearms. As has been suggested, they mostly deal with keeping your home and property looking decent.

I live in the country in Louisiana but I frequently come to Houston on business and stay at my mother and father's home that I grew up in. Is it legal to convert, say, a portion of your garage in the city limits (cinderblocks, bullet catching sand or whatever, soundproof door, etc) into a small shooting lane for practice and fun?

As long as it's safe, soundproof and not bothering anybody...
