New Home Warranty Standards review
The Texas Residential Construction Commission has a warranty standards working group to maintain and modify the new home standards used in Texas. Although the standards are very homebuilder friendly, the industry is continuing to request modifications to the document to futher erode protection for homebuyers.
If you are interested in reviewing the warranty standards and providing suggestions on how to modify them to help the consumer, please review the set of documents at http://www.trcc.state.tx.us/brochures/WarrantiesStandards/WarrPerfStand.htm
