Lennar Homes of Texas Land and Construction Ltd recorded two special warranty deeds in Montgomery County on Oct. 20, 2026, taking title to land in the Chapel Run and Moore Landing subdivisions from a single seller, Houston LD LLC, according to county clerk records.

Why it matters

Lots in two different subdivisions moving from the same seller to the same national homebuilder on the same day points to a lot takedown program, not a one-off purchase. Chapel Run Section 1 and Moore Landing Section 2 are both recorded plat sections, so these are finished home sites rather than raw acreage. The next step is home construction, not land development. For more on the metro’s development activity, see the Houston market hub.

The numbers

  • Instrument 2026111718: Lots 14 and 16, Block 1, Chapel Run Section 1, recorded Oct. 20, 2026. View the deed.
  • Instrument 2026111359: Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Moore Landing Section 2, recorded Oct. 20, 2026. View the deed.

The two deeds cover four lots in total. Neither filing discloses a sale price. Texas special warranty deeds do not carry consideration figures as a matter of course, and no verified dollar amount accompanies either record, so none is reported here.

What’s next

Houston LD LLC does not show up as a branded master-planned community sponsor in available coverage, consistent with a land-banking or assembly entity rather than a public-facing developer. The next verifiable step would be residential building permits on the four lots, which would confirm home starts in Chapel Run and Moore Landing. Each permit would also put a construction value on the record for the first time.
