Texas Residential Construction Commission may not survive the session
The Senate Business and Commerce Committee will not vote out the Sunset bill dealing with the Texas Residential Construction Commission, meaning the agency will go out of business unless it can be saved by appending it to other still-moving legislation. âI was not able to reach a compromise with all parties,â said B&C Chairman Troy Fraser (R-Horseshoe Bay). âWe simply ran out of time. My committee is not scheduled to meet again, so whether that agency can be saved is out of my control.â The agency tasked with promoting the construction of quality homes and looking after the interests of new homebuyers has been slammed by its critics as being little more than a tool for the industry.
