Texas homeowners need protection from substandard construction - not the TRCC, a State agency that's "fundamentally flawed and does more harm than good." So, HOT advocates policies that provide effective consumer protections, improve the quality of new and remodeled homes, and establish high professional standards for builders and the construction trades they hire. Others who'll benefit from such policies include realtors, insurance companies, and the communities they serve.

  • What Politicians Take Homebuilder Money?
    Did the Texas home building industry, which brings in some $35 Billion per year, buy its way into favorable regulation (or lack thereof) at the expense of consumers? That's the impression one gets from this Lobby Watch report. The top builder contributor was Houston builder Perry Homes ($2,877,299). The top recipient was Texas Governor Rick Perry ($649,218). And every Texas Supreme Court justice was on the take, so is it surprising that they overruled a binding arbitration decision that had favored the homeowner?
  • Can Anyone Understand This? Can Your Attorney?
    We challenge anyone to interpret this Brownfields Act. It seems to offer  builders & developers incentives to remediate and develop on contaminated soil with no apparent oversight, duty to disclose, and almost no liability.
