History

Founded in 1995 as the Valley Association for Quality Development, the Texas Land Developers Association consists of landowners, real estate developers, and investors across Texas.

Recent legislative changes have resulted in more onerous compliance rules and regulations increasing our legal liability and cost of doing business. We are bound by the laws related to owner-financing of property, and by the statutes that regulate the development of land into rural and suburban subdivisions, complete with all of the usual engineering and infrastructure hurdles.
