Homeowners protest Richland County subdivision building company
Catalano lives in Deer Lake, a relatively new subdivision near Percival and Clemson Roads. He and at least a dozen homeowners say the builder, D.R. Horton, promised them landscaping and access to a nearby lake, but failed to deliver. Catalano says, "With all the rock and clay and no dirt whatsoever for the grass to take, it just dies right out." The homeowners say their yards are covered with dead sod and have major drainage problems. Some have sprinklers, and nothing but weeds to sprinkle.

Lawmakers to take closer look at agency that should protect homeowners
On Monday the state Legislature will take another look at a state agency that was supposed to protect homeowners against shoddy home builders. But in the two years that the Texas Residential Construction Commission has been around, critics say it’s done nothing but help big builders. Dorina Corrente has planted herself deep into a swampy quagmire of red tape. Or blue tape that plasters her Sugar Land home. “Look at the mold, look at the damage,” she said. She said poor drainage and bad construction have sent her new home to rot. The lawn is always wet. The foundation, crumbling. The blue tape marks what she says is wrong — what she says her home builder, DR Horton, won’t fix.

Scott asked if they would put in wood flooring he already bought instead of carpet and claims they said no...Very unhappy with DR Horton, Scott told them. “You’re putting a lot of stress on the family… there's the holidays coming up. Then on November 11th my wife had a stroke,” said Wall.

D.R. Horton Ripoff Contract Dispute Pulls Contracts ripoff Jacksonville Florida 
*Consumer Comment ..I wouldn't want to do business with you either...In the mist of signing the contract we were informed we had to sign a paper stating you had to use D.R. Horton mortgage company or only 8 other lenders they aprove of. So basically one can not use any mortgage company they want to go with. Of course up until this point we were only told that if you didn't use D.R. Horton mortgage company then D.R. Horton would pay none of the closing costs.

Developer seeks injunction
David Champoux, an outspoken critic of the homebuilder, had announced plans to demonstrate with signs to dissuade people from buying homes.In previous letters to the editor, he said D.R. Horton should be held liable to residents who paid a premium to live in a golf community now that Old Carolina LLC -- owner of the course -- is replacing nine holes with 199 apartments and 55 single-family houses. Some of the residents who bought homes from D.R. Horton possessed written guarantees that the Buck Island Road course would be in existence through 2010, Champoux said.
