In a surprising turn of events, the Strait family—one of the most respected names in country music—is now at the center of a legal dispute making headlines across Texas. George Strait’s son, George “Bubba” Strait Jr., and his wife, Tamara, are engaged in a legal battle with a San Antonio-based construction contractor over alleged breaches in a high-value residential project.
According to documents recently filed in Bexar County court, the couple is suing Lonestar Ridge Construction, a prominent South Texas builder, citing breach of contract, misrepresentation, and significant delays in the completion of their custom-built home on the outskirts of Boerne, just north of San Antonio.
Sources close to the matter state that the Straits entered into a contract with the firm in late 2022 to build a luxury ranch-style residence. However, the project allegedly suffered from months-long construction delays, budget overruns, and what the couple describes as “unsafe and substandard workmanship.”
“What was supposed to be our dream home has become a nightmare,” the suit alleges. “We were misled from the beginning and are now left with unfinished structures, escalating costs, and broken promises.”
The lawsuit claims that the construction company failed to follow agreed-upon blueprints and disregarded multiple requests for quality inspections. The Straits also allege that materials paid for in advance were either not delivered or not up to standard, including key structural features of the home.
Legal experts say the Straits may have a strong case, particularly if documentation supports their allegations. Photos attached to the court documents reportedly show improperly installed roofing, faulty wiring, and violations of local building codes.
A representative for Lonestar Ridge Construction has denied all allegations, stating that delays were caused by supply chain issues and weather-related setbacks, and that all actions taken were within the terms of the original contract.
“We are disappointed by the Straits’ decision to escalate this to a legal matter,” said the company in a public statement. “We have made every effort to complete the work according to specifications and timelines. We intend to defend our name vigorously.”
George “Bubba” Strait, who followed in his father’s footsteps as a rodeo competitor and songwriter, has largely stayed out of the spotlight. Both he and Tamara have been known for their private, low-key lifestyle focused on family and ranching. This legal action marks a rare public controversy for the Strait family, who are revered for their integrity and grace.
As of now, court hearings are scheduled to begin later this summer. The couple is seeking financial restitution as well as a court order to prevent the contractor from continuing any further work on the property until the matter is resolved.
Fans of the Strait family have rallied online in support, expressing shock and disappointment that such a high-profile family has found itself tangled in what appears to be a painfully personal dispute over trust, home, and values.
