Texas Lawmakers Consider Real Estate `Lemon Law’.

Cracking walls. Leaking windows and doors. Squeaky floors. Shoddy wallboard. Crumbling foundations. These and other flaws found in homes throughout Texas have homeowners lobbying for a home real estate "lemon law." The measure, before a Senate subcommittee, would require a builder to buy back a new house with a construction defect if the builder won't fix it or hasn't been able to after three attempts. The law idea is similar to the automotive lemon laws in most states that gives buyers who purchase a defective vehicle the right to get another vehicle or a refund if the defects aren't fixed

New Texas Law Gives State More Power to Regulate Building Industry.

Police Lt. Dan Draper lived in his new house about six weeks before he started noticing the cracks in his walls and floors. In the 18 months since he paid $157,000 for his house in Mansfield, he has watched the fractures spread over more of his walls and ceilings, he said.

New home buyers, consider a warranty

If you buy a $5 shirt and then change your mind, chances are the merchant will give you your money back, no questions asked. And if the new car you buy doesn't run right, a lemon law is likely to protect you. But new-home buyer, beware. Although a brand new house is the costliest purchase many people will ever make, the home-building industry has a no-return, satisfaction-isn't-guaranteed policy.
