TEXAS LONE STAR OWNER JORGE RENDON, WILL WALK OFF THE JOB AFTER TAKING YOUR MONEY

I do not fear a defamation lawsuit, because the facts support this truth.

My readers know I am in a lawsuit with this less than honest businessperson.  It was not enough for him when Texas forced him to pay an $11,250 penalty for code violations in regard to my home.  He is mad and needs to punish me.

Where I am now is, settlement cannot be reached so long as I am asking Texas to suspend his license and in fact indict him for taking loan money he knew he was not entitled to and then walking off the job.

The facts on the loan money are easy.  His contract with FTL finance clearly says he cannot accept the loan money until he produces a signed contract between me and himself.  My texts and emails prove he refused to provide a contract.  By law he was not entitled to the loan money.  But he took it anyway.

He then decided to walk off the job before it was finished.  He chose to not address the code violations because Omar Ochoa with the city told him he did not have to comply with the violations.  Because he believed he could get ready with this, the state punished him in the amount of $11,250.00.

According to the attorney being paid for by the bonding company Jorge Rendon wants to change his sworn to admissions with Texas that he violated the codes and caused me damages, to he did nothing wrong.  I cannot sign a settlement document which I know contains felony perjury.

When Jorge Rendon realized his carpenter turned my new AC into a fire hazard, he walked off the job.  He did not care about the code violations.  The most egregious violation was enclosing the new AC into a closet so small you cannot access the AC for repairs, or inspection.

This is the AC trapped in the closet installed by Jorge Rendon's staff.  The opening to the closet is so small you cannot replace the filter.  The AC cannot be accessed for inspection or repair.

This is the freon pipe installed by Jorge Rendon's staff.  See how the pipe joint is welded from two different sizes instead of using the correct size pipe.  The freon kept leaking, while my electric bill remained high. 

The closet is a fire hazard because the filter is not being cleaned or replaced.  

All of this wrongdoing is by Jorge Rendon.  To make matters worse the office manager's son fell through my kitchen ceiling.  The officer manager assured me in writing she would address the repairs.  She did not.  Instead, Jorge Rendon ordered a really bad patch job done without refloating the kitchen ceiling.

Now pay attention, I can no longer settle this case, which means I get nothing, so long as I have both civil and criminal complaints filed against Jorge Rendon.  It is a very dangerous system when a contractor can take finance money in your name and then walk off the job.

We all know Saenz will never enforce the law.  So, I am having the matter handled in Austin and Missouri. FTL Finance is based in Missouri, so their AG can bring the criminal charges against both FTL and Texas Lone Star in Missouri.

People love to complain plaintiff's get a windfall in any settlement.  This is actually not true.

I just walked away from a $35k settlement offer because it was made in bad faith.

His lawyer hired by the bonding company ignored all my concerns with settlement and demand I sign a document enforcing Jorge Rendon's felony perjury, which included 30 days to finish the settlement after I comply with other demands in other documents to which I had no right to review before being bound by the documents.  Really? how is that not bad faith.

Also, the law mandates the settlement be sent to FTL's counsel. The settlement as written would have made it a breach if I provided FTL the settlement document.

In 36 years, I have never seen such a bad faith settlement document.  In my opinion with Jorge Rendon's attorney missing every deadline and then submitting a document he knew I would never sign, they never intended to settle.  

Here is the deal.  I now get nothing.  I will get Jorge Rendon's license.  Whether or not he has to admit to criminal conduct by taking finance money he knew he was not entitled to will be a matter between him, and hopefully an attorney he chooses, and not the bonding company.

As people think Rendon is maybe a victim, remember it was Rendon who illegally took the finance funds, and then walked off the job.  He chose to ignore the code violations because Omar Ochoa told him he could.  The bonding company and his attorney as hired by the bonding company had nothing to do with his unethical conduct.

I prefer I protect the people of Brownsville from Jorge Rendon, then get a penny.

I have made it clear I will not ask for more than I agreed to settle for.  But I will not continue to work with the law firm hired by the bonding company. 

Any settlement will include a clause that the settlement will not impact the state and federal complaints and that I will be allowed to pursue the remedies.  If Jorge Rendon is smart enough to hire an independent attorney to deal with the bonding company and the attorney they hired, he may get away with probation and a temporarily suspended license.  He has a long hard battle ahead.

Jorge Rendon chose to be the person he is. He believes so long as the city and an attorney hired by the bonding tell him he can ignore the law and abuse is customers, he will. 

I do not need the money.  But the people of Brownsville need to know they will not be cheated by the likes of Jorge Rendon.
