7 On Your Side
Banned for life

Wednesday, 11 Feb 2009
- Banned for life. Pete Stucky can build no more in the lone star state. The Texas Residential Construction Commission approved the ban against Stucky and his business Affiliates LLC.

He cannot be a supplier. He cannot be a builder," said Duane Waddill of the TRCC.

Since last year 7 On Your Side followed Stucky's story. Ever since homeowners in Williamson County told us how many of their houses faced liens because sub-contractors said Stucky left them with bills he could not pay.

Neighbors filed complaints with the TRCC. The state could have made Stucky take the stand.

“Mister Stucky wanted to avoid that hearing,” said Waddill. “He didn't want to have to come testify and to avoid that testimony and to avoid being on the stand, we were determined that he was going to agree to something greater that just a revocation to get out of the business. And he did.”

“It is unusual,” said Paulo Flores, Chairman of the TRCC. “I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've faced, where someone came to us and agreed to a lifetime ban.”

We called Stucky who claimed to not know anything about the ban and said if lawyers worked it out that was their business. He refused to comment any further. But on the order his attorney signed on behalf of Stucky and affiliates.

According to the TRCC this lifetime building ban is not only a first for Texas, but possibly a first for any state in the country.

Stucky's legal troubles are far from over. He was arrested late last year on misdemeanor perjury charges accused of signing legal documents saying there were no unpaid debts on several houses he built.

Investigators told us Stucky admitted he signed the documents knowing it was false. His case is expected to go before a Williamson County grand jury next week.

A 20 year building ban issued to a Travis County builder was the closest to ever come to a lifetime ban.
