This is moronic. Builders and their associates can unashamedly say they're concerned about consumer protection and keeping "their" TRCC, while not one honest legitimate consumer it supposedly protects wants the TRCC anywhere on record.

Maybe you should take the approach of nationally humiliating the stupidity of Texas law makers through CNN if they disregard common sense and their constituents. I know getting real press is very hard though. But maybe this is absurd enough to get them on.

Here in Virginia they were about to pass a law that fined people $50 if their underwear could be seen in public. CNN ran the planned law before the final vote, and they flipped here to 100% against it out of embarrassment. Still the Virginia general assembly of idiots has gotten lots of really ridiculous stuff through, off the radar usually.

Hoping for the best, though getting rid of the TRCC will only remove a barrier to the continued problem.
