Cy-Fair residential association blames sues over 'mangled' neighborhood

A Cy-Fair association of concerned residents is suing after, it says, a Friendswood resident and a River Oaks builder “mangled” a neighborhood by failing to conform to deed restrictions when building a subdivision.  

Cy-Fair’s Concerned Residents of Stoneyway Village filed a lawsuit on June 13 in Harris County District Court against ROC Homes, of River Oaks, Friendswood resident Brady Burnett and others citing, among other things, violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and breach of fiduciary duty.

Concerned Residents of Stoneyway Village says that the subdivision the defendants built within Stoneyway Village lowered property values of neighborhood homes because it failed to conform to the deed restrictions on file in the Harris County Real Property Records office.

The plaintiff further alleges that the defendants installed an inadequately sized water main, which lowered the water pressure in the neighborhood to the point of hindering proper bathing and sanitation.

The plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief, actual and exemplary damages, attorney’s fees and court costs. It is being represented in the case by Houston attorney Lisa Linney.
