Commission Levies Negligible & Disproportionate Fines
49 Builders Affected - Forty-eight builders were assessed fines ranging from $150 to $2,500 for registering late. These fines are in addition to the $300 late renewal fee that each company is also required to pay. However, Lifestyle Design/Build, Inc., of Houston, was fined only $1,000 for using fraud or deceit in obtaining a registration. Still after 3 years, TRCC has taken no action for fraud and deceit in building defective homes in Texas. A list of those companies is available at Late Registration.pdf. Read: TRCC Press Release
