As you mentioned in your follow-up comment, in Texas, you can move transfer the property to a business entity or a trust. However, you should consult a qualified and competent tax attorney and/or CPA regarding tax consequences and homestead treatment of the property.

The only way to not be listed it to not own a house (therefore no tax listing), not own a car (though most of the driving information is protected), not have any credit (so no listings with the credit bureaus) and spend cash (so there are no tracks of spending provided of course that you use no loyalty cards).
   
   Oh, and don't register for or post on any websites.
