Hudson Oaks has been the site of two differing family murder-suicides, one occurring in Hudson Oaks and the other just outside of the city limits. Both occurring in the 2000s. On July 16, 2002, Dee Etta Perez shot and killed her three children shortly before shooting herself. The second family murder-suicide occurred on May 29, 2007, where Gilberta Estrada and her four children were found dead in their mobile home in an apparent family murder-suicide.

In 2019 the successful HEB grocery chain opened up their eighth North Texas location in Hudson Oaks.
