You were flying at least nearby to 5 airfields, 4 of which are in operation and one is a major airport.
7.9 SM from Ellington Field 'EFD'
5 SM from Hobby 'HOU' (center of field, closer to one of the runway's thresholds)
4.35 SM from Pearland Regional 4 SM from Houston Airpark
3.18 SM from A&A Flying Service
According to FAA JO 7400.11B and FAA sectional chart you were most definitely inside restricted airspace, see attached. Specifically Class B SFC to 10,000 for Hobby. Not only that, but as you can see on the attached map you were right next to an approach path for Rwy 35, and the departure path for Rwy 17. You must check all of your flying areas thoroughly and not just rely on DJI's flawed NFZ system. You were required to obtain clearance from Hobby Tower in order to operate in that airspace, if you did not then you were violating FAA regs and subject to significant penalty, please be cautious in future flight ops in these areas.
