I have had very good luck with these privets in the Houston, TX area. Low maintenance, and require very little water once established. Although they look weak & spindly the first season, they will fill-out in time. I have two that fluffed up to 5 and 6 feet tall with nearly zero maintenance, and now they provide a nice "visual anchor" in the lawn. Since they can span-out about 4 feet, it's best not to plant anything else too close to them (which is easy to do when these shrubs are young and look narrow) since it will get crowded and concealed once the privet matures and broadens. The soft, whispy limbs and foliage are a nice contrast up against a brick home.

This plant has experienced explosive growth in our zone in only two years, and now needs major pruning back, as it is shading and hurting neighboring plans.

Very spindly looking right looking right now, and I disklike the way that it looks. Probably will dig it up and donate it to someone who prefers this shrub.
