HOUSTON — A Spring, Texas couple claims a roofing and remodeling contractor took about $60,000 of their Hurricane Harvey flood disaster recovery checks and left unfinished and substandard work. 

Dedric and Felicia Brown filed a complaint Jan. 22 in the Harris County District Court against Jesus Martinez doing business as Rainshield Roofing and Remodeling alleging deceptive trade practice, violation of the Texas Property Code, breach of contract and negligence.
