I'm in Houston, Texas. Pre-fab sounds interesting to me. Where can I
get a pre-fab (homedepot, lowes,...)?

I believe pre-fab means already put together (designed, built and ready to
drop off). Built your own means to either design and build from raw
materials (2x4s, plywood etc.), or use a plan then build from raw
materials.

Uh, not exactly. Depending on the part of country and store, it can mean
different things. 'Assembled' means they bring it on a flatbed, and drag it
into position. 'Pre-fab' usually means the walls, trusses, etc, are
prebuilt, but there is some on-site assembly needed. 'Kit' can mean the same
thing, or it can mean a bunch of precut pieces of wood banded together, plus
a box of nails and fastener plates and such. 'Build your own' would be a
package price on the raw materials, and a set of plans. Since even the
chains often use different suppliers in different parts of the country, this
is the type of question that can best be answered with trips to your local
Borg or real lumberyard.
