Don’t miss your chance to weigh in on the future of Texas Residential Construction Commission!

The staff of the Texas Sunset Commission – an independent legislative agency tasked with weeding out government inefficiency – has recommended that the TRCC be abolished.  We are urging lawmakers to adopt this recommendation so that builders will face real accountability when they build shoddy homes.
