Metro East surpasses $1 million in contributions with 20th Cars for CASA
Industry Investors
The Metro East Division of the Dallas Builders Associ- ation has surpassed $1 million in contributions to Lone Star Casa with its 20th annual Cars for CASA auto show held May 18 at theCars for CASA 2025 Aerial Rockwall County Courthouse. Cars for CASA began in 2005 with 80 cars and raised $2,600. It has since become one of the largest auto shows in North Texas. This year’s show fea- tured approximately 350 vin- tage cars, trucks and motor- cycles despite the threat of severe weather, drew over 4,000 attendees and raised almost $110,000. To date, the event has surpassed the $1 million mark in total funds raised for Lone Star CASA. “It’s hard to believe that we have been doing this for such a long time and that so many participants have been with us throughout the entire journey,” said Doug Bowerman of Susser Bank, a co-founder of Cars for CASA. One-hundred percent of the event’s proceeds benefit Lone Star CASA, a non-profit organization that supports abused and neglected children in Rockwall and Kaufman counties. It is part of a national program that began in the late 1970s to provide volunteer advocates for children in the foster care system. In Texas, there are 72 local CASA programs with nearly 11,000 volunteers serv- ing more than 30,000 children.
Auto show organizers Greg Paschall of Richardson Ready Electric, Dave Hambley of Lee Lighting, Doug Bowerman of Susser Bank and Larry Baty of Cadenhead Servis Gas gather with volunteers at the 20th Annual Cars for CASA, held May 18 in Rockwall.

Regulatory Victories Continue for Association
Local ordinances, recently ad- opted in multiple Dallas BA jurisdic- tions, come with the intent of balance and flexibility. As Dallas BA members, and the service area, work towards housing attainability in the face of rising costs and regulatory burdens, every regulatory improvement helps. The Dallas City Council on May 14 approved Dallas BA supported amendments that address the issue of over parking through a reduction in parking minimums in the city’s off-street parking and loading code. Aimed at finding a more tailored bal - ance in parking ratios, the city hopes the ordinance will provide more housing. For multifamily development, there is a tiered parking ratio. Projects with 200 dwelling units or more will be required to provide one parking space per unit, whereas developments of 21 to 199 dwelling units require ½ space per dwelling unit. Tiered guest parking will be 10% for developments with 150 units or more, and 15% for those with 21 to 149 units. Developments with 20 dwelling units and less do not face a required minimum. For buildings that are within ½ mile of light rail or streetcar stations, there is no parking minimum for any use. Dallas faces the challenge of supplying attainable housing. The ordinance passed on May 14 offers the potential to lower development and construction costs, by allowing residential development, in particular, multifamily, the ability to design the product with parking ratios based more on what is needed for the project. Which in turn could increase housing supply and address overall affordabil - ity in housing.
While the ordinance comes with alternative method options such as bicycle racks and rideshare spots, they are mostly items that are already used in the market. During the public hearing before Council, Dallas BA pointed out that this ordinance does not mean there will not be parking spaces, the ordinance just avoids excessive ratios in design. To be desirable to tenants and, consequently, remain economically viable, multifamily housing will still look to provide available parking spaces. The process that resulted in the new ordinance began in October of 2019. While many feel the ordinance does not go far enough to free up parking requirements, it has been pointed out, even by members of the City Council, that the ordinance can be seen as a living document that can be adjusted as needed for the best of the city. The amendments to the parking code come on the tail end of the recent ordinance that adds a consolidated dwelling that allows between three to eight residential units to be built under the Dallas’ version of the International Residential Code. The Dallas BA-supported or- dinance is designed to provide more options to address the city’s housing needs. Consolidated dwellings are lim- ited to buildings dedicated to resi- dential use only and contain three to eight dwelling units. The building is limited to 7,500 square feet or less in non-sprinklered areas and four dwell- ing units or less per story served by a single exit. The construction must contain certain fire rated assemblies for walls and floor assemblies, and there are re -

strictions on common travel of egress and a requirement for distance between buildings. Dallas BA continues its advocacy in the codes arena. The Association’s Director of Government Affairs serves as an appointed member on the North Central Texas Council of Govern- ment’s Regional Codes Coordinating Committee (RCCC), as do two of our members in their professional capacity. The RCCC, and its five advisory boards comprised of local public and private code professionals, continually reviews the latest editions of the model construction codes from the Interna- tional Codes Council and recommends uniform amendments for the North Central Texas Region. This process provides uniformity across jurisdictions, reducing training costs for municipal personnel and making it easier for contractors, build- ers and developers to do work across the region. The result is a package of code amendments tailored to better fit the region’s needs, as well as a reduction in construction costs that can be thou- sands of dollars per home. The 2024 I-codes have mostly been reviewed, and amendment rec- ommendations have been presented. Area municipalities are already presenting those recommendations to their city’s leaders. Dallas BA mem- bers are encouraged to look into what codes have been adopted in the cities where they provide homes. If you are concerned whether a municipality has
adopted the COG amendments, please contact the Dallas BA. A special note: With the RCCC process in mind, it is important to recognize the work that was done on that committee by a Dallas BA member for decades. Members may have heard of the recent passing of Tommy Ford. Tommy was not only an award- winning builder member, but also a servant leader. In addition to the many other areas where he dedicated time to the Association and industry, including the Texas Builders Foundation and the TAB Water Task Force, Tommy served as an appointed member of the RCCC from 2001 to 2021. There, he worked for codes that made sense, and helped train up a couple of Dallas BA government af- fairs directors in the process. We appreciate the service Tom- my, and his family, have provided to the industry, and he will be missed.

THE HOME BUILDER June 2025 Memorial services held for Tommy Ford Memorial services were held Page Three
He contributed $10,000 to the National Housing Endowment for establishment of an educational schol- arship to support green building educa- tion, and contributed to the Press Club of Dallas Foundation as an underwriter of the Boone Pickens Roast, a charity fundraiser. Tommy’s charitable accomplish- ments also included support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. He also worked with Dallas Fire-Rescue to do- nate sprinklers for low income homes, a contribution that was then matched by the Dallas BA’s Custom Builders/ Remodelers Council. Tommy was active in the home building industry at all levels. He was elected an Honored Life Director of the Dallas BA in 2000, and was also a state and national life director. He was instrumental in crafting a program for compliance with state legislated energy standards. serves on several regional and national code committees. He served for more than a decade creativity and generosity. Some of the advertising campaigns she created remain in use to this day, and her leg- endary REALTOR ™ events are still remembered with admiration. Phyllis’s accomplishments ex- tended well beyond the professional realm. She and her husband, Ray Ryland, were married for 43 years—a milestone anyone who knew them both recognizes as no small feat. Together, they lived a life full of adventure, from African safaris to cherished summers on the Oregon coast in the treasured home Ray built for her with love. Though Phyllis had dreams of adding the Mediterranean to their travels, Ray remained unconvinced—a light- hearted example of their enduring, dynamic partnership. Family was central to Phyllis’s heart. She was devoted to her sisters, Brenda and Hope, and shared an espe- cially deep bond with Brenda and her children, Paige and Monty. Though she had no children of her own, she embraced Ray’s son Mike, his wife Deborah, and their sons Grant, Blake and Conner, as her own family. In her heart, those boys were her grandsons, and Deborah became the daughter she had always wished for. Their connec- tion remained strong and unwavering
on the North Central Texas Council of Governments’ Regional Codes Coordinating Committee. This group of DFW area building officials and in - dustry professionals compose regional amendments to ICC codes that result in codes that reflect local building practices and foster regional continu- ity. Tommy’s advocacy efforts on the RCCC alone saved builders thousand of dollars over the years. Tommy got his start in the indus- try at age 7, cleaning up job sites for his father, a home builder in West Texas. Tommy Ford Construction was founded in 1965 in Vernon, TX. Tom- my spent many years working in the oil field, but wanted to get back to what he loved, which was building homes. He began working out of his truck and took on whatever jobs he could to support his family. After several years working in Vernon and the surround- ing area, he and his family moved to Amarillo in 1969. He served as presi- dent of the Texas Panhandle Builders Association in 1988. Phyllis’s circle of love and loy- alty extended far beyond her family. She was surrounded by close friends whose lives she enriched in countless ways. She was a source of wisdom and guidance, always ready with thought- ful advice—whether for a personal challenge or a professional dilemma. She volunteered at Faith Presbyterian Hospice for many years. “Phyllis lived generously, loved deeply and inspired many. Her two- scoop life was one of purpose, passion and presence—and we are all better for having been part of it,” stated former Dallas BA Director of Special Events Jackie Johnson. Phyllis requested that no service be held. Any donations to Faith Pres- byterian Hospice in her name would be a great tribute.

He was the recipient of both the Association’s highest award, the Hugh Prather Trophy, and the Texas Association of Builders’ Ted Schlossman Lifetime Achievement Award. Known to be private about his successes, Tommy was honored with numerous awards for his excellence and generosity. He was a founding member and director of the Texas Builders Founda- tion, which provides scholarships to students who are pursuing careers as residential construction trades profes- sionals. The Foundation honored him industry icon Phyllis DeWitt Ryland passed away May 6, leaving behind a legacy as rich and vibrant as the life she led. In her own words, Phyllis lived a “two-scoop life”—because when it came to blessings, the Lord never gave her just one scoop of her favorite ice cream, but always two. She had been a member of the Association since 1983, first as a mar - keting professional with volume build- ers Goodman Homes and Newmark Homes, as well as Builders Reliance Mortgage and Blandford-Akins. Phyl- lis started her own company, DeWitt Marketing, in 2001, and maintained her membership in the Dallas BA throughout her retirement. Born in Decatur, TX, Phyllis’s humble beginnings laid the foundation for an extraordinary journey. She rose to remarkable success in the business world, first distinguishing herself as a gifted salesperson and sales manager, then as a visionary marketer, and ul- timately as a media business owner. Phyllis was well-deserving of the “Legend of Marketing” award that she received through the McSAM Awards. She didn’t just build a career—she built opportunities for others, guiding them to success with her wisdom,
