Thanks! Do they have very invasive roots that damage foundations? There's
a power line at the back of the property, unfortunately. How far should I
keep it from the house?

There's a lot of debate regarding whether or not roots really can damage
foundations or not. That said, these trees get *big*. Very big. And if
you like the "x-mas tree" look, you'll have to plant at least two near
each other. That way they compete and get tall. Otherwise, they tend to
spread out and get rounder.
Try to get a locally grown tree, that is more likely to be adapted to
your soil. If you're in Houston, you don't want a Hill Country cypress.
