Protecting Your Rights at Every Phase of the Build
Construction projects often involve multiple parties, complex contracts, and high financial stakes. Whether you're a property owner, contractor, or developer, one dispute can delay a project—or lead to costly litigation. At Dankesreiter & Emmet, LLP, we help clients prevent and resolve construction-related legal issues with clarity, strategy, and experience.
Construction contracts are rarely simple. Their complexity often leads to confusion or disagreement, especially when expectations aren't clearly defined or when defects or delays occur.
Our attorneys help clients avoid disputes from the outset by drafting and reviewing contracts that clearly outline each party’s obligations, timelines, and remedies in case of default. If a dispute does arise—over payment, performance, delays, or workmanship—we’re ready to help you enforce your rights and protect your investment.
The RCLA was enacted to provide a fair and structured process for resolving residential construction disputes in Texas. It gives builders the opportunity to correct defects before homeowners pursue legal action and outlines specific notice, inspection, and settlement procedures that both parties must follow.
If your construction dispute is governed by the RCLA:
-
Homeowners must typically provide written notice at least 60 days before filing suit.
-
Contractors have a right to inspect the property and propose repairs or settlements.
-
There are strict rules on how and when offers must be made and accepted.
Failure to follow these rules can impact your ability to pursue or defend a claim. We help clients navigate the RCLA process and protect their rights—whether you’re seeking a resolution or responding to a claim.
