· KRGV (NBC 5)
A retired couple in Mercedes, Ana and Jose Salgado, are frustrated after paying over $156,000 for their dream home, which remains unfinished after 14 months. They signed a contract with Honora Construction in July 2025, expecting completion by November 2025. Key elements like cabinets, plumbing, and flooring are still missing. The contractor cited ICE raids as a reason for worker shortages. Jose Salgado issued a letter demanding completion within 30 days or abandonment of the project. The Better Business Bureau advises consumers to ask questions before signing contracts and to withhold payments until progress is evident.
