Alicia and West Dixon purchased their first newly constructed home from D.R. Horton in 2014 because it was in the school district they desired and they liked the home’s layout.

Now, eight years later, they feel trapped in their Youngsville, Louisiana, house, which they say has toxic mold because of faulty construction that the builder didn’t properly address during the home’s warranty period.

The Dixons have become the face of what attorneys hope will become a class-action lawsuit against D.R. Horton and one of its subcontractors.

Ten south Louisiana attorneys sued D.R. Horton and Bell Mechanical Services in state court this week on behalf of the Dixons and thousands of other homeowners in Louisiana.
