The Timely Demise of the TRCC
The Examiner—May 30th, 2009
In a recent article, James Shannon of the Examiner takes a look at the history of the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) and the recent legislative actions that allowed for its demise. As he puts it, “Long derided by consumers and some state officials as the ‘builder protection agency,’ it forced consumers into a cumbersome administrative process that critics charged took too much time, cost too much money and almost always resulted in decisions that favored the builder.” According to Alex Winslow, Executive Director of Texas Watch, “The TRCC was built on a faulty foundation. It has finally been condemned and will be demolished.” Shannon interviewed two Texas Watch activists who have struggled for many years with the agency for the story.
