HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Royal Texan Homes has been named Texas' Best Custom Home Builder, receiving the prestigious Texas Association of Builders (TAB) Custom Builder Grand Award during the 2026 TAB Star Awards.

The honor marks the first time since 2021 that a Greater Houston-area builder has earned TAB's highest recognition for custom homebuilding, bringing the Grand Award back to one of Texas' most competitive residential construction markets.

To have our work recognized at the highest level across Texas—and to bring this award back to Greater Houston—is something we're incredibly proud of."
