Snow and ice do strange things to the ground. I just walked around my house stepping on all the Terminex traps becuse they've all been pushed out of the ground about 1.5 inches because of the constant freezing/thawing snow/ice.

Sounds like humidity issue with cold sucking humidity out of framing, but in 10 year old house more common around 18-24 month mark. Is it more noticeable on interior or exterior walls?

This means thinset was not mixed properly or let dry to much before using.
Use latex modified thinset and reinstall.

Even if it is foundation
tile should have cracked.
No thinset stuck to tile
means improper installation

Did the tile talk the door frames and mouldings into revolting as well?

Only one door frame and it’s exterior, the moulding drying and cracking is common issue when humidity changes drastically

This is all my tile guy could guess, cheap thinset and maybe the installers let it dry too much before putting the tile on it

Your foundation is sinking and cracking. Get a foundation company to come in and check levels. It's free.

My hardwood floors get a few buckles in them every winter but you can't see them in the spring and they are not high enough to come loose in the winer.
Mine does the opposite. It will lie flat in the winter and buckle in the summer.

Sounds like a foundation issue. Use some shims to lift one side. Not sure which one. Probably the lower one.
Good luck.
Use big shims.

Your numerous dumbass troll attempts, ultimately led to most posters IGNORING most of what you post and until you clean up your tired old "act".....you can expect more of the same.....understand ?

Ive been in my house since 2006 and the moulding separates every winter and returns flush every spring summer and fall.

OK, let's go about it this way. Why do you think your foundation is fine even though you have multiple indications that you may indeed have a foundation problem?

Sounds like inbetween bad subcontractors and possible foundation problems.
I just redid some interior doors in a house a quote expert contractor set. They just put door in the rough opening and shot trim nails in the casing. They did not even attempt to shim the doors or check for plumb, level, and square. That was a mess. Mounding no scarf cuts to hide joining mounding in a larger room. I understand some people do not use coping saw on larger jobs on corners. Small job come on man.

It may not be a traditional frost heave, but during these extreme cold snaps, the moisture in your soil matrix is freezing and a heaving action takes place. Common sypmtoms are doors not closing correctly, moldings separating at the connections, tile floors separating, etc. This magnifies with slab on grade homes.

I highly doubt the soil in houston was cold enough for long enough
My problem is lack of moisture in the house
