In looking at all the TRCC sites, it doesn't look too complicated until you look at the Order for Adoption of Chapter 307,,, http://trcc.state.tx.us/policy/resou...er307Rules.pdf page 7, (a) "applicable code compliance'.

Other places it speaks of following 'building and performance standards' -- not the same as code.

I am attending a meeting in Uvalde on the 20th sponsored by TRCC, a mortgage company, and a local building supply. Will see what they have to say.

Linda,

The second reference is to the SIRP Inspectors which are TRCC third party, post construction defect inspectors. The requirements for this new program are still not in TAC but the following document describes it in more detail.

When you go to the meeting ask them many questions and you will see how this program is not in the benefit of the consumer. Instead it is there to protect the builder more than the consumer.
