In May 2008, New Jersey State Legislators have to get involved to compel warranty repairs.  West Deptford Township, New Jersey had to withhold nearly $600,000 in performance bonds to get D R Horton to perform warranty as promised to its very own consumers:

D. R. Horton, which built the Grande at Kings Woods, had requested that the township release three performance bonds worth a total of $581,683 attached to the development.

In a unanimous decision, the committee moved in March to release the bonds on the condition that the developer perform certain repairs at the development by May 1.

Residents of the development have long complained about unfinished construction and other issues with their homes and property. The township tried to mediate in November 2006, when officials held a meeting with D. R. Horton and residents at the RiverWinds Community Center.

Township engineer Edwin Steck inspected the property and wrote in a letter dated April 24 that the repairs hadn't been completed. The township committee voted at its next meeting on May 1 to withhold the performance bonds.

A few days later, representatives of D. R. Horton contacted the township to have the property inspected, and said the work was done.

"They waited until the eleventh hour to complete the work," Angelini said. "They failed to get it done in a timely manner. So basically the committee decided at that time to reject the release of (those bonds)."

On May 28, 2008, in Las Vegas, a master plan developer and several sub division developers have had to sue D R Horton to compel them to uphold their end of the bargain:

The development group led by locally based Olympia Group has filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the nation's largest home builder for a breach of contract.

November 2005 Land Investors filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Clark County District Court against DRHI, a subsidiary of Fort Worth, Texas-based D.R. Horton. The lawsuit claims the builder is in default of an infrastructure agreement and owes $4.1 million plus interest for unpaid costs related to the 2,675-acre Park Highlands master-planned community in North Las Vegas.

-Apparently D R Horton only does whats in its own best interests.  DHI will break contracts and leave consumers and partners high and dry if that warranty and contracted business doesnt pad their own coffers.  They would prefer to burn bridges and never get return customers or ostracize other better and more responsible builders to save a few dollars.-

Meanwhile, other states such as Louisiana are to have D R Horton provide housing to Louisianans:

These consumers should beware of predatory lending from the getgo: www.drhortonsucks.info; sub standard construction which wont be warranted as above; and then possibly having their own communities' development stop mid stream when the construction doesnt generate revenue for D R Horton.  Horton has abandoned projects across the country leaving a few consumers isolated among what was to have been master planned communities.  For example, seven individual homes built in one eastern development before abandonment of the remaining dozens of homes, parks and community amenities.  Those seven home owners have lost their shirts to D R Horton's breach of contract and abandonment.  Horton did the same in central Florida and actually informed those few consumers that their development was more trouble than it was worth.
