The Frisco Story: Why the Becka family decided to help future homebuyers After several years and many futile attempts to persuade their builder, Huntington Homes to address construction problems the Beckas learned that builders are not licensed in Texas and that state laws do not protect homebuyers,. Finally, upon discovering that their home had been destroyed by toxic mold due to construction defects and non-compliance with city building codes, the Beckas decided to exercise the legislative process to change the way homebuilders do business in their town. **********
