Johnson Development Initiates Another Lawsuit/SLAPP-suit Against Sienna Homeowner
(3rd case in 18 months)--

Normally this wouldn't be so shocking, but it is happening to our family here in Sienna Plantation, yet again. We believe we have been targeted for yet another harassment suit (SLAPP-suit) by Johnson Development Co. (JDC) of Houston (Larry Johnson, President), developer's of Sienna, Riverstone, Silver Lake, Fall Creek, Tuscan Lakes, Edgewater, Sweetwater and Woodforest subdivisions.

The initial case was filed in August 2005 in an attempt to access and close several Sienna Plantation resident run websites (in our opinion) and continued with a SLAPP-suit filing in December 2005 and supposedly settled in December 2006. SJD/JDC is claiming that the agreement was breeched and is pointing the finger at the homeowners once again. What JDC fails to mention is that they have not lived up to a single clause in the agreement. Of course they are claiming the homeowners did not live up to the contract. I wish we could share this agreement with you and go line by line, but that would violate it and I'm sure they would use it in this new harassment case they have filed on Feb. 7th --and just notified us today via our attorneys (the 21st).

We will continue to update this and keep the Sienna & Missouri City, TX community informed as this progresses, yet again! If this isn't consumer harassment then there is no such animal in Texas.
