GALVESTON – The buyers of a League City property allege they have incurred significant out-of-pocket costs to repair defects in the property that the seller failed to disclose.
Brandon and Rae Ortiz filed a complaint on Dec. 4, 2017, in the Galveston County District Court against Neely Katherine McNeal alleging that the seller violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiffs purchased a home located at 2015 Lauren Lake Drive in League City from defendant. The suit states the defendant represented that there were no defects or malfunctions in the house.
Within hours of closing on the property on Feb. 24, 2017, the plaintiffs allege they began experiencing problems with defective conditions in the home, including but not limited to a faulty dishwasher, noxious odor in the master shower, multiple loose shower tiles and extensive water damage.
The plaintiffs holds McNeal responsible because the defendant allegedly falsely represented that there were no defects or malfunctions in the subject property.
The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek monetary relief of $100,000 or less and such other and further relief to which they may be justly entitled. They are represented by Laura J. Grabouski of Tully Rinckey PLLC in Austin.
