Background and Controversy
Colony Ridge has been a focal point of controversy, particularly among Texas Republicans who allege that the development serves as a haven for undocumented immigrants and criminal activities. In December 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the developers of Colony Ridge, accusing them of engaging in predatory lending practices targeting Latino homebuyers. The developers have denied any wrongdoing, and the lawsuit remains pending.
