CA Property and TX... LLC or Trust?

[Account Closed]

I currently own my primary residence in San Diego , CA and 2 duplexes in SA,TX. I would like to hold my property in the best possible way that would protect me from law suits, people knowing whom owns the property, and taxes. I am torn between setting everything up in CA where I live or TX where my investments are.  What should I do and how should I hold the property
