The steel roof was quickly rusted due to the frequent rain, and was therefore replaced by the wooden roof. Many interesting stories and legends are connected with the original Texashaus. According to a story, it was built about 10 years ago as a shed, in which one wanted to preserve the silage. The strong hurricane has turned the house, which has been standing on 'the roof', which explains its unusual form.

This interesting version of the show of the teapot house is a fiction. The firm and safe construction of the house is the confirmation of this. In 2009 the teapot house was not damaged during the strongest orcans in the history of the state. The main secret of the unusual house are its owners whose names the locals do not know. The man visits the house regularly. Sometimes, however, the building is empty in the course of a few months. What is hidden behind the steel walls of the house is only the housekeeper.
