The short answer
With a median build year of 2010, Hockley is newer housing, and newer housing moves the likely cause away from the pipe. A pressure-reducing valve explains a whole-house drop more often than the supply does at that age.

What 2010 tells you about the pipe in Hockley
Housing of this vintage generally means PEX or copper, new enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. Where pressure is poor from the day someone moves in, the usual answer is a pressure-reducing valve set low at handover, and it is an adjustment rather than a repair. More on 2010s supply pipe.
86% of occupied homes in Hockley are owner-occupied, 28 points above the TX figure of 57%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Housing this new in Hockley rarely has a materials problem, so the useful first step is the same one but the likely answer is different: count the weak taps, and if it is all of them look at the valve rather than the plumbing. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — how to check. Whole house, or just the one.
