I have a northern white cedar home and it needs to be stained about every 5 years or so depending on how much bad weather beats it. Too much sun and rain / snow can take its toll.
Cedar does weather a nice grey color but if you start seeing black areas, that is bad. Mildew starting and once started you need to treat ASAP.
I love mine house and its doing well after 19 years in the midwest weather. In Texas, just make sure whatever wood they use is not something carpenter or fire ants like. That is the best reason to stain and treat for pests.
