Texas Health and Safety Code and Texas Water Code Settlement Notice

The State of Texas gives notice of the following proposed resolution of an environmental enforcement action under the Texas Health and Safety Code and the Texas Water Code. Before the State may enter into a voluntary settlement agreement, pursuant to section 7.110 of the Texas Water Code, the State shall permit the public to comment in writing. The Attorney General will consider any written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations indicating that consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the law.

Case Title and Court: Harris County, Texas and The State of Texas Acting by and through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, a Necessary and Indispensable Party v. Ricardo F. Romero, Laura Romero, and R&L Building Group, Inc.; Cause No. 2021-11375 in the 333rd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.

Background: Mr. and Mrs. Romero own and operate R&L Building Group, Inc., which provides demolition and restoration services to residential and commercial properties that have suffered fire and flood damage. R&L Building Group, Inc. was founded in 2017, and operates at 3527, 3535, and 3537 Mansfield Street, Houston, Texas 77091 ("Mansfield Properties"). Mr. and Mrs. Romero are the sole directors and officers of the company and are the recorded property owners for the Mansfield Properties.

On March 23, 2020, a Harris County Flood Control District ("HCFCD") employee observed a dump truck deposit debris on a corner of the property at 3537 Mansfield, which encroached onto adjacent property owned by HCFCD. On November 24, 2020, a Harris County Pollution Control Services Department ("HCPCSD") investigator inspected the property at 3537 Mansfield and observed approximately 1,200 cubic yards of municipal solid waste ("MSW") illegally dumped and encroaching on the adjacent HCFCD property. On January 21, 2021, the HCFCD employee observed Mr. Romero operating excavation equipment digging a hole on the HCFCD property neighboring the Mansfield Properties. Mr. Romero told the employee that he was burying water-based paint at the site. Additional investigations conducted by HCPCSD staff demonstrated continued storage of MSW at the Mansfield Properties and the adjacent HCFCD property through at least May 20, 2021.

Harris County filed suit on February 26, 2021, asserting trespass claims on behalf of HCFCD and violation of Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") regulations governing MSW on behalf of HCPCSD, against Mr. and Mrs. Romero and R&L Building Group, Inc. (the "Romeros"). Harris County, on behalf of HCFCD, proceeded to hire environmental engineers to assess the extent of waste stored and buried on HCFCD property. Due to delays in the testing and required determinations, Harris County amended its pleading on April 30, 2024, to remove the trespass claims from litigation. As a result, only the civil enforcement claims brought on behalf of HCPSCD remain. The Parties have reached an agreement to resolve the pending enforcement claims only.

Proposed Agreed Judgment: The parties propose an Agreed Final Judgement which provides for a total monetary award of $32,500.00 in civil penalties and attorney's fees from the Romeros. An award of $27,500.00 in civil penalties is to be divided evenly between Harris County and the State. The award of $5,000.00 in attorney's fees and costs will be given to the State. No injunctive relief was deemed necessary. A post-judgment interest, at the legal rate of 8.50%, will be assessed on any payment amount that is not timely.

For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the complete proposed Agreed Final Judgment should be reviewed in its entirety. Requests for copies of the proposed settlement, and written comments on the same, should be directed to Wesley Williams, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General of Texas, P.O. Box 12548, MC-066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, (512) 463-2012, facsimile (512) 320-0911; email: Wesley.Williams@oag.texas.gov. Written comments must be received within 30 days of publication of this notice to be considered.
