Official Rules — Quarterly Free Foundation Repair Drawing

Effective October 2026. Questions: (817) 516-4539 — answered live 24/7.

1. Sponsor. Hold The Line Foundation Repair, 4798 Benbrook Blvd, Benbrook, TX 76116. Owner and program administrator: JW Marshall, Founder.

2. The prize. One (1) complete foundation repair of the winner's primary residence, using concrete pressed piers installed to engineering specification — including every pier the final engineering plan requires (no cap on pier count) — plus the standard lifetime transferable pier warranty. A drainage evaluation is included; drainage correction work, if recommended, is quoted separately and is not part of the prize. Partial acceptance does not create cash value. Approximate retail value varies by job (typically $15,000–$40,000). The prize is non-transferable with no cash alternative.

3. Frequency and dates. Drawings occur quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15, beginning January 15, 2027. Entries received after a drawing roll to the next drawing. Sponsor may adjust dates for the first cycle and will post any change on this page before the affected drawing.

4. Eligibility. Open to natural persons who: (a) hold a 100% VA service-connected disability rating (schedular or permanent & total), evidenced by a VA award letter dated within the last 12 months; (b) performed combat service, evidenced on the DD-214 by a Combat Infantryman Badge, Combat Action Badge, Combat Medical Badge, Air Force Combat Action Medal, or a campaign/expeditionary medal for service in a designated combat zone; (c) own and occupy as primary residence the home to be repaired, located within the Sponsor's DFW-and-surrounding-counties service area; and (d) are age 18 or older. Employees and family of the Sponsor are ineligible.

5. Entry. Complete the application at https://holdthelinefr.com/veterans/ or by phone at (817) 516-4539. One entry per person per drawing cycle. No purchase necessary to enter or win; a purchase or inspection does not improve the odds of winning.

6. Verification and document handling. Every entry is verified before the drawing. Documents (VA award letter, DD-214) are reviewed only by the Founder, used solely to verify eligibility, stored privately, and destroyed within 30 days after the eligibility decision — except a winning entry's documents, retained only as required for tax records. Documents are never sold, shared, or used in marketing. Submitting fraudulent documents disqualifies the entry permanently and may be reported to authorities.

7. Drawing and odds. One winner is selected at random by the Founder from all eligible verified entries on each drawing date. Odds depend on the number of eligible verified entries. Past non-winners remain in future drawings automatically unless they withdraw by calling (817) 516-4539.

8. Winner notification. The winner is notified by phone and email within 7 days of the drawing and must confirm acceptance and complete engineering scheduling within 30 days, or an alternate winner is drawn.

9. Publicity. Winner may, at the winner's sole option, take part in a story about the repair, at whatever comfort level the winner chooses — first name and city only by default. Refusing publicity never affects the prize.

10. Taxes. The prize may constitute taxable income. The Sponsor issues IRS Form 1099-MISC where required. The winner is responsible for all taxes.

11. Conditions. Void where prohibited. This drawing is a no-purchase sweepstakes conducted under Texas law; it is not a lottery or raffle, and no ticket, fee, or purchase is ever involved. Repair work is subject to standard contract terms, engineering feasibility, and safe site conditions; if the winner's home presents conditions making pressed-pier installation infeasible (rare), the parties discuss alternatives in good faith, and the Sponsor is not obligated to perform methods outside its standard practice.

12. Privacy. See the Privacy Policy and Section 6 above.

Every City We Hold The Line For

Arlington

Heart of the Metroplex, squarely in the North Texas expansive-clay belt, and neighborhoods from Dakotas-era tract builds to newer subdivisions south of I-20 show the classic mid-life foundation signs.

Burleson

One of the fastest-growing cities in Johnson County, with a median home built around 2003 — right on the 20-year line where North Texas expansive clay starts moving slabs.

Joshua

Heavy clay soils shrink in drought swings and swell when the rain returns, flexing slabs and piers season after season.

Crowley

Growth out of the farm fields means newer slabs built on the same Blackland Prairie clay that moves North Texas foundations.

Cleburne

Johnson County's seat.

Alvarado

On the I-35W corridor at the Johnson/Johnson line, Alvarado homes ride the same expansive clay.

Mansfield

Mature neighborhoods and fast infill building sit on shrinking-and-swelling clay.

Midlothian

Explosive growth means thousands of slabs entering their second decade on active clay soil.

Fort Worth

Southeast Fort Worth is our home ground.

Benbrook

Our home ground — the office is right here on Benbrook Blvd.

Grand Prairie

The Grand Prairie wedge between the Trinity bottomlands and the upland prairie sees some of the sharpest soil-moisture swings in the Metroplex.

Kennedale

Compact and fast-changing, Kennedale sits on the same Fat Prairie clay that made this corner of Tarrant County farmland.

Pantego

The small town wedged between Arlington and Dalworthington Gardens sits on active clay that swells wet and shrinks dry.

Hurst

A Hurst home built in the growth years of the 70s and 80s is reaching exactly the age where North Texas expansive clay takes a toll.

Euless

The transition zone between the Eastern Cross Timbers and the prairie runs right through here — tree-lined blocks with mature oaks pulling moisture from the same clay the slabs rest on.

Bedford

Big, mature trees and 1960s-80s slabs make Bedford a textbook clay-season town.

North Richland Hills

NRH's winding mid-century neighborhoods sit on the shrink-swell clay band that runs straight through the mid-cities.

Watauga

Small, dense, and fully built-out, Watauga's homes are all crossing the age where active clay starts to show.

Keller

From the original Old Town grid to the newer subdivisions along Bear Creek and its branches, Keller slabs ride clay that flexes from one weather extreme to the other.

Southlake

Rolling terrain over both prairie and Eastern Cross Timbers clay means foundation movement here can vary block to block.

Colleyville

Half-acre lots and mature trees mark Colleyville's clay country — the canopy that makes these streets beautiful is also drawing moisture from the soil the foundations stand on.

Grapevine

From the historic Main Street cores to the postwar neighborhoods along Glade and Dooley, Grapevine buildings are old enough for the clay to have had many seasons to work.

Saginaw

North of Fort Worth on the old farm ground between Eagle Mountain and Haslet, Saginaw's expanding subdivisions stand on the same prairie clay that pushed through every drought summer before them.

Waxahachie

Ellis County seat, growing fast along the I-35E and US-287 corridors, Waxahachie homes stand on blackland prairie clay that is among the most active in Texas.

Weatherford

Parker County's seat at the western edge of the Metroplex, Weatherford sits in the Cross Timbers transition: sandy loam over clay means movement comes in patches.

Granbury

Peninsula neighborhoods and the lakeshore around the historic square ride the Western Cross Timbers clay belt.

Dallas

Between the Trinity River bottomlands and the old Blackland Prairie terraces, Dallas spans the widest soil range in the Metroplex — mid-century blocks in Lakewood and East Dallas, postwar Oak Cliff grids, and everything between all ride clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons.

Irving

Between the Elm Fork bottomlands and the Las Colinas canals, Irving's soils swing wet-to-dry harder than most of the Metroplex.

Garland

Duck Creek and its branches cut through Garland's flat prairie grids, and the block-to-block moisture differences show up in foundations.

Mesquite

Old Blackland Prairie cotton ground inside the city limits — the deep clay that survives under every slab.

Carrollton

On the line between Dallas and Denton counties, Carrollton stacks older grids around the historic downtown square against new subdivisions, with Elm Fork tributaries keeping soil moisture swinging.

Richardson

The Cottonwood Creek and Floyd Branch corridors wind through Richardson's mature neighborhoods, and the postwar prairie homes around them are crossing the age where blackland clay takes a toll.

Plano

The historic east side around Haggard Park and the Spring Creek and Prairie Creek corridors carry Plano's oldest slabs — 1970s construction deep into the age where expansive clay shows.

Frisco

West Frisco's master-planned streets sit where Stewart Creek and Panther Creek drain former Preston Ridge ranchland — the same clay prairie that grew hay now grows foundations.

Allen

Between the Watters Branch bottomlands and the older grids off Custer Road, Allen slabs ride clay with real seasonal amplitude.

McKinney

Around the courthouse square, the historic districts predate slab construction; the fast western additions along the Wilson Creek corridor do not.

Prosper

Past the silo-landmark downtown, Prosper is new construction on rolling former ranchland — and the prairie clay under those estates is writing its first chapters of swell and shrink.

Celina

North on the Preston Ridge, Celina's boomtown grids stand on clay that swells in spring and walks in drought.

Denton

Square-side historic blocks, mid-century grids, and new construction toward Ray Roberts — all sitting where Clear Creek and Hickory Creek feed the lake.

Lewisville

Old Town's mid-century grids and the lake-adjacent neighborhoods share one geology: the Elm Fork bottomlands.

Flower Mound

The town's namesake mound is a remnant of the same Eastern Cross Timbers belt that runs through the southern half of town — sandy uplands over clay pockets, mature trees pulling moisture, slabs keeping score.

Little Elm

Lots near the Lake Lewisville shoreline see some of the sharpest moisture swings in the Metroplex — high water in wet years, exposed flats in drought.

Rockwall

The county's namesake is a real, buried rock wall beneath downtown — a genuine geologic oddity — and the ground above it still moves like everywhere else in North Texas.

Heath

High rolling prairie with bluff lots over Ray Hubbard's northwest shore, Heath's estate streets sit on clay that moves season by season.

Forney

Past the antique-row downtown, the fast subdivisions along Farm-to-Market roads stand on the same Blackland Prairie clay Kaufman County is built on.

Terrell

East of the Metroplex along the US-80 corridor, Terrell's brick-front downtown predates modern slabs, and the surrounding prairie homes carry generations of clay history.

Ennis

Czech heritage, bluebonnet trails, and a brick-front downtown on the Blackland Prairie — Ennis sits on clay that has been flexing since long before any slab.

Aledo

West of Fort Worth where the Eastern Cross Timbers meets open prairie, Aledo's ranchettes and new subdivisions ride clay with real drought-to-downpour amplitude.

Azle

On the Eagle Mountain Lake shoulder northwest of Fort Worth, Azle mixes shoreline lots with Cross Timbers ridges — two moisture regimes over one clay band.

Willow Park

Gently rolling ground west of Fort Worth along I-20 — Willow Park's ranchettes and golf-course streets sit on Cross Timbers clay that swells and shrinks with every weather swing.
