Im trying to create a brick texture on a house shaped box but am having trouble:

this is the code for my box (without trying to add brick texture)

box { <-Hx,0,1>,< Hx,Hy,9>
      texture { pigment{ color White}
                finish { phong 1}
              } // end of texture
      scale <1,1,1> rotate<0,0,0> translate<0,0,0>
    no_shadow
    }

and i have been trying to put one of the following examples in
http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.0/368/
but keep getting declared errors and have no idea what to do, can anyone help?

In your code, you have the following user variables: Hx, Hy, White.

The variable "White" is declared in colors.inc. It's not initialised by 
default.
You need to include that file as follow:
#include "colors.inc"

In that file, it's defined as:
#declare White   = rgb 1;

If it's the only colour you use, you can add just that #declare to your 
code.

Place that line early in your code before you use any colour name.

Hx and Hy are also user variable. You need to explicitely #declare them 
before you use them.
#declare Hx = 23;

Keep in mind that anything starting with an UPERCASE character is always 
a "user" variable. You may declare it yourself, or have it declared in 
some include file.

The hy, hz, and hx are defined sizes, as its a for a house. and the white
statement works, but that is not the issue the whole statement works and brings
a white box, but want i want is to add somewhere in this statement (instead of
white) a brick looking texture but not sure where or what im doing wrong (only
with the brick texture not what i already have)

brick should then replace White in the pigment.

In 2.5.11.5, COLOR_1 and COLOR_2 are place holders. You must supply one 
pigment for each. If you don't set these, you get redish bricks with 
gray mortar.

Minimal sample:
texture{ pigment{ brick } }

Sample:
texture{ pigment{ brick Aquamarine Firebrick brick_size <7,1,7> mortar 0.1}
  finish{diffuse 0.76 ambient 0.02 phong 0.4 phong_size 100}
}

Time ago I made a brick texture based on Philippe texture (sorry, I 
didn't remember the original post, it was a nice plane full off pebbles).

// Texture begin here
#declare t_brick_space=texture{
	pigment{color rgb <200,90,10>/255}
	finish{diffuse .65}
	normal{granite .6 scale .4}
}

#declare t_brick=texture{
	pigment{color rgb <188,67,8>/255}
	finish{
		diffuse .7
		roughness .15
	}
	normal{
		average
		normal_map{
			[1.00
			boxed 1
			poly_wave .3
			slope_map{
				[0.00 <0,0>]
				[0.02 <0,0>]
				[0.02 <0,.5>]
				[0.6 <1,0>]      // Increase or decrease the bump
			}
			]
			[1.00 granite .15 ]
		}
	}
}

#declare t_wall=texture{
	boxed
	poly_wave .3
	texture_map{
		[0.00 t_brick_space]
		[0.05 t_brick_space]
		[0.05 t_brick]
		[1.00 t_brick]
	}
	warp{planar}
	rotate -90*x
	scale 0.5
	translate <.5,0,.5>
	warp{repeat 1.05*x}
	warp{repeat 1.05*z offset .5*x}
	scale 0.4*z  // Change here brick props
	#local tseg_Warp_scale=1.3;
	scale tseg_Warp_scale
	warp{
		turbulence <.3,1.5,.3>*.1 //Some turbulence
		octaves 4
		lambda 1.5
	}
	scale 1/tseg_Warp_scale
	scale 0.3
	rotate 90*x
}
// Texture end here


Example:
box{<-2,0,-0.2> <2,2,0.2> texture{t_wall}}

With some adjustments you can obtain something similar to bricks.
