After a long fight by Texas homeowners and consumer groups, the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC) will finally be abolished. The San Antonio Express-News explains, “As the legislative session wound down this week, lawmakers did not act to save the beleaguered [agency] from the state’s Sunset process.” However, it is presently unclear how the agency will shut down or what those homeowners and builders currently embroiled in the process are able to do. According to the article, “Now the laws that push homeowners and builders into the TRCC’s dispute resolution process and regulate home building will end Sept. 1. The agency has another year to wind down its operations.”
