AI research over published reviews and resident comments. Scores are a model’s reading of opinion, not figures stated on a page, and nothing here feeds any number above it. The links under each block are the pages that research says it used. Based on available resident reviews of covered buildings. These are reported experiences, not independent building inspections, and may not represent all residents or properties.

Risks & source coverage

LEGAL Filed November 22, 2022; docket activity through March 5, 2024 A lawsuit filed by David Hudson and Dominga Orta against First Texas Homes and several project-related contractors concerned a property dispute; the docket records a November 22, 2022 filing, extensive discovery and a March 5, 2024 non-jury trial notice, while also recording nonsuit orders in February 2023 and a later transfer-related docket history, so the retrieved record does not establish a final merits finding against First Texas Homes.
trellis.law · https://trellis.law/case/48113/dc-22-16201/david-hudson-et-al-vs-first-texas-homes-inc-et-al
LEGAL Filed June 10, 2021; listed as pending when retrieved Kyle and Veronica Leatherwood filed a contract/debt-collection lawsuit against First Texas Homes, Inc.; the retrieved court listing shows the case as pending and provides no disposition or merits finding.
unicourt.com · https://unicourt.com/case/tx-col-kyle-leatherwood-and-veronica-leatherwood-husband-and-wife-vs-first…
DELIVERY DELAY Reported on the retrieved page as a review from about 4 years ago; event concerned an expected late-2022 completion A buyer review reported that a Gallery Custom Homes/First Texas Homes spec home contracted for December 2021 was represented as due in late 2022, but the buyer said the rate-lock deadline approached without completion or a workable closing solution; this is an unverified customer account, and another reviewer on the same page reported a satisfactory build despite a longer-than-anticipated build time.

Garland, United States

Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures.

Only buildings that have reached handover are rated. 0 of 1 project carry no rating: a building still under construction is never asked about, one that has just been handed over may not have been reached yet, and the rest were asked about and no published resident commentary was found. Structure is fixed at handover and stays the developer's; management and living belongs to whoever runs the building now. The overall verdict weights both rather than averaging them. None of this is checked: a rating is what people published about a building, aggregated — it is not evidence, it cannot move a delay figure, and it is not part of the delivery record above.

LEGAL Filed November 22, 2022; docket activity through March 5, 2024
A lawsuit filed by David Hudson and Dominga Orta against First Texas Homes and several project-related contractors concerned a property dispute; the docket records a November 22, 2022 filing, extensive discovery and a March 5, 2024 non-jury trial notice, while also recording nonsuit orders in February 2023 and a later transfer-related docket history, so the retrieved record does not establish a final merits finding against First Texas Homes.

LEGAL Filed June 10, 2021; listed as pending when retrieved

DELIVERY DELAY Reported on the retrieved page as a review from about 4 years ago; event concerned an expected late-2022 completion
A buyer review reported that a Gallery Custom Homes/First Texas Homes spec home contracted for December 2021 was represented as due in late 2022, but the buyer said the rate-lock deadline approached without completion or a workable closing solution; this is an unverified customer account, and another reviewer on the same page reported a satisfactory build despite a longer-than-anticipated build time.

PROJECT CANCELLED Reported as a review from about 3 years ago; cancellation said to occur around July 2022
A buyer review alleged that First Texas Homes cancelled a Collinsbrook Farm contract after the final walk-through because the loan was not cleared to close within the contract’s seven-day period; the account is a customer allegation, not an adjudicated finding.

SAFETY / LABOUR Accident June 8, 2007; Court of Appeals decision February 12, 2015; Texas Supreme Court review denied September 2, 2016
In a former employee’s injury case, the Texas Court of Appeals reversed summary judgment for First Texas Homes and remanded for further proceedings, holding that evidence raised fact issues concerning a construction-trailer platform whose door reduced usable clearance to 14 inches and an OSHA-cited condition; the Texas Supreme Court later denied First Texas Homes’ petition for review, so the retrieved sources establish appellate litigation and OSHA-related evidence, not a final liability judgment.

LEGAL Home completed August 2015; lawsuit reported as filed November 2016; arbitration April 2018; appeal reported June 2018; review posted September 9, 2018
A customer review alleged that a First Texas Homes house in Cotton Creek Ranch developed serious foundation defects, that arbitration followed a lawsuit filed in November 2016, and that an award covered most repair costs and attorney fees before First Texas Homes appealed; this is a first-person account reproduced by a consumer-review site, and the retrieved material does not establish the final appeal outcome.

RISK 2016–2020 (research date: 2026-10-15)
Cotton Creek Ranch Addition, Midlothian — a homeowner alleged that First Texas Homes constructed a materially defective foundation; the reported dispute proceeded to arbitration, an award for repair costs was confirmed, and the builder’s appeal was affirmed, so this is a resolved historical construction-failure matter rather than an active stalled development.

DELIVERY DELAY Published 2008; events in 2007
Grayhawk, Frisco — a contemporaneous buyer complaint reported that First Texas Homes repeatedly postponed the promised construction start, leaving the buyer waiting about seven months after contract and ultimately cancelling the contract; this is older, lower-confidence evidence from a consumer complaint rather than an independent project-status record.

usacomplaints.com · https://usacomplaints.com/miscellaneous/296286-first-texas-homes-complaints-reviews.html

PROJECT CANCELLED 2022 event; review accessed 2026-10-15
Collinsbrook Farm, Texas — a 2022 consumer review alleged that First Texas Homes cancelled a buyer’s contract after prolonged uncertainty over the closing date and financing; the account is not independently corroborated here and does not establish that the wider community was abandoned.
