Attorney General Ken Paxton Sues Colony Ridge for Fraudulent Practices That Enabled Major Problematic Real Estate Development to Flourish
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the Colony Ridge development in Liberty County for deceptive trade practices, fraud in real estate transactions, and other violations of Texas and federal law.
Colony Ridge is a sprawling real estate development northeast of Houston that has expanded quickly in recent years. In an October 2023 letter to Members of the United States Congress and fellow Texas leadership, Attorney General Paxton noted that the development’s rapid growth has presented major problems. He wrote, “The development appears to be attracting and enabling illegal alien settlement in the state of Texas and distressing neighboring cities and school districts.”
A monthslong investigation by the Office of the Attorney General found that the developer has made numerous false, misleading, and deceptive sales, marketing, and lending practices that enabled their business model.
“Colony Ridge’s business model is predicated on churning land purchasers through a foreclosure mill,” the lawsuit explains. “Namely, Colony Ridge targets foreign born and Hispanic consumers with limited or no access to credit with promises of cheap, ready to build land and financing without proof of income.” Additionally, Colony Ridge misrepresents the conditions of the land and community which often does not have the promised infrastructure such as sewer, water, or electricity. Once discovered, these conditions preclude the buyer from making practical use of the land.
Colony Ridge then forecloses on the buyer and re-possesses the land before selling the same plots to others who are deceived with the same set of misrepresentations. Among other things, former employees of Colony Ridge have represented that the company instructed them to avoid selling to customers who could speak English or who did not appear to be of Latino or Hispanic heritage. The predatory practices of Colony Ridge have led to a foreclosure rate 50 times greater than the 2023 national average.
“Colony Ridge has been flagrantly violating Texas law. The development profited from targeting consumers with fraudulent claims and predatory lending practices” said Attorney General Paxton. “Their deceptive practices have created unjust and outsized harms. Nearby communities have borne a tremendous cost for the scheme that made Colony Ridge’s developers a fortune.”
It sukks a whole lot...and 25 years of rescuing their abused, discarded, abandoned and neglected animals...we're on the front lines...picking up dying dogs from the gutter that were mauled and thrown away from dog fighting rings...I'm seriously over the "diversity is our greatest strength." It has profoundly impacted our finances and overwhelms us constantly...to this day...and the emotional scars will never heal...
I'm sorry to see that. I know very well that pain, if perhaps not to the same extent as you. We lived in Honduras for three years and extensive travel in Mexico, Central America and South America as well as a few muslim and african countries. The way animals are treated everywhere in the third world I've been in, and most especially dogs is horrible, disgusting (I really don't have the right words) ugly, cruel, evil and unconscionable.
It is funny about how being an expat is always portrayed as being a wonderful experience. Our experience was good and bad. There was an underbelly in the culture that wasn’t so good. A lot of the expats were pretty much crazy. Basically you exchange one set of problems for another by moving to a different country.
thx...we have a huge mess to clean up...my vote was for Tom Homan as much as it was for Trump...but he is exceeding expectations, and patriots aren't as clueless and cultist as people presume...we had to take a shot and take what we can get...
I blame everything our new admin has to do, and un do! , on the Demon-rats who went far to hard on far to much in their gluttonous and perverse attempt to destroy America.
I hope they don't win another election in 20 years .
If all goes well, we will have neutered the left for good...they should never hold power...ever again...and there's a real good chance that they never will...we'll still have to hold everyone's feet to the fire, regardless of who they are, but we will expose those demons too...things are looking so much better...I'm almost hopeful that we have bought ourselves a little more time...and the hope of bringing the pedo cabal to its knees has never looked better! Huge win.

Wtf!?
On the positive side, perhaps having the illegals concentrated in one place will make it easier for Trump/Homan to round them up?
Holy fuck. I'm so sorry this is happening to you and your beautiful country Ms. S.

yes...it is unconscionable...but to have it dropped at your doorstep - over and over again - is insane...
Agreed. 🎯. I lived in Mexico for 5 looooong years. A HELL hole for animals.

expats are usually hard-core hippies...no thanks! Very woke, it seems...
yes, made me sick at heart to see. Sometimes I could do something.
as an artist, I see the beauty in clean varied colors, picture glasses of colored
water, clear sparkling red, green, blue ,yellow ,orange , purple , brick, grey and so on.
You can combine these to make many varied nuanced shades and tones etc, but pour them all in a jar together at once and what do you get ?
a very sad grey...
lol / dirty looking water
💔😭

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. I can't know of something unless someone posts.
