A new article by Winstead Shareholder Bob Burton, featured in Texas Builder magazine published by the Texas Association of Builders, discusses Texas House Bill 1455. This 2015 law established a practical framework for resolving construction defects in condominiums, benefiting all parties by encouraging settlement over litigation. As condominiums increasingly serve as a vital solution for housing affordability and density, the importance of this law has amplified.
Bob Burton’s article examines how the law operates, including mandatory independent inspections, the involvement of unit owners, and a 90-day right to cure that must be completed before any claims can be filed. This framework helps reduce leverage claims and enables all parties to reach a resolution quickly and efficiently.
