Press Conference
                                                  Tuesday, August 8 at Midlothian   City Hall  

          Choice Homeowners choose to seek help from city 

     Midalothian – HomeOwners for Better Building ( HOBB ) will hold a press conference prior to homeowners speaking to the Midlothian City Council asking the city’s help with their defective homes.   Choice homeowners say they have no ‘choice’ but to organize and make their concerns know publicly.   

       Attending the press conference will be families from various Choice subdivisions that tell of non-compliance with minimum city codes and defects that threaten to destroy their homes and investments.  

       Their complaints range from failure of Choice Homes to respond to warranty repairs to, improper subdivision drainage problems, construction defects, plumbing and foundation failures, cracked walls, driveways and brick, leaking windows, mold and streets the resemble roller coaster rides.

.      The group claims that as individuals they have been ignored.  Even attempts to get help from Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) have proven futile.  And, that TRCC is a toothless tiger that leaves homeowners powerless to hold builders accountable for defects in homes they build. 

       TRCC was supposed to be a place to resolve the issues of bad homebuilding but for the past 3 years hundreds of homeowners have sent letters complaining of defective homes and were advised by the Governor’s office, and the Attorney General, to consult legal council and go to TRCC.   In the end, those that went through TRCC were advised to get an attorney and proceed to litigation.

      A recent Comptroller’s survey found that 86% of those who confirmed construction defects through the TRCC process did not get their homes repaired.
