Question : Does anyone know property/real estate laws in Houston or Katy Texas?
I moved into a new community in Katy, Texas 10 months ago. Upon making our decision to buy this lot, we asked our home builder if there were any plans of construction going on with the land behind it. They said “nothing that we are aware of” They just said it is commercial property and nothing else. 4 months into living here, a contractor started breaking ground for what is now becoming a 2 story concrete warehouse that is 15 feet from our back fence. It is almost as tall as the power lines that run across the back of the community and it blocks about 75% of my view from my patio. The loading dock is right behind our house. My view of our gorgeous Texas sunsets is now gone. Do I have any rights? Are there any rules or laws of disclosure that I should have been informed of? I feel extremely cheated. I chose this lot as we didn’t want a 2 story homeowner overhanging our back yard. Now we have a commercial one….Any advise would be great.

I don’t live in Texas, but here is what I think. That builder should have known what was going on behind your lot. It takes cities months to come to agreement about such buildings and that information should have been sought out by your builder.

I would suggest you consult with a Real Estate Attorney to see if you have any recourse.
