Ex-Hicks partner sues over Rangers property sale

FORT WORTH, Texas — Dallas businessman Tom Hicks is being sued by a former development partner as the Texas Rangers owner seeks to sell the team and some land.

The dispute involves 45 acres near Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, land that Steiner & Associates of Columbus, Ohio, claims it has the right to develop.

A planned shopping, hotel and entertainment district known as Glorypark never materialized.

The lawsuit was filed Jan. 21 in Fort Worth, two days before Hicks announced a deal to sell the Rangers.

Hicks, who has informed Major League Baseball and the partnership group buying the Rangers about the legal action, says the lawsuit has no merit.

Steiner seeks $14.5 million, plus its stake in Glorypark. Steiner spokesman Jason Stanford says Hicks "does not have the right to sell the land without dissolving the partnership."

Home values in the Dallas area are showing modest improvements from a low point set in early 2009, according to the latest data released Tuesday.

But Dallas-area prices were still down 4.1 percent in May from a year ago in Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index report.

Some analysts are betting that the North Texas market will flatten out later this year after more than two years of steady declines in prices and sales.

April 27, 2009

Using a $6.3 million federal grant, the city of Fort Worth is rolling out a Down Payment Assistance Program to help qualified individuals purchase lender-foreclosed homes in seven selected ZIP codes throughout the city.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently awarded the $6.3 million to the Fort Worth Housing and Economic Development Department to provide assistance in the redevelopment of foreclosed homes. The funds come from HUD’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.

WASHINGTON – Sales of previously occupied homes jumped unexpectedly in February by the largest amount in nearly six years as first-time buyers took advantage of deep discounts on foreclosures and other distressed properties.

Economists said sales, while still at levels not seen since 1997, may finally be coming back to life after declining sharply following the stock market plunge last autumn.
