Homeownership in San Angelo, TX, is risky business.‍

I am a single mother whome, after a 7-month journey of housing insecurity, consolidated all of her resources to buy a home. I didn’t want the worry of updating a home or costly repairs. Dec 22, 2022 I purchased a new construction home with the assurances that it had passed all San Angelo City inspections and included a 1-2-10-year home warranty to cover any issues I might have.

Shortly after moving in, I became aware that there was something really wrong with the home. Four years and THOUSANDS of dollars later, I have a home that not only needs costly repairs, but will not sell without disclosures and heavy financial loss. To illustrate how poorly my home was built, I appealed my property taxes and, when presented with inspection reports, the Tom Green County Appraisal District LOWERED my assessed property value by nearly $80,000.00!!

I’ve created this website to not only share my journey but to bring awareness to a systemic problem where home builders are not held accountable, and City officials hand out Certificates of Occupancy when homes do not meet the Texas Minimum Construction Standards.
