AUSTIN, Texas – Chris Lyons, President of HOME by Lyons in Amarillo Texas and a member of the Texas Panhandle Builders Association, was installed as the 79th President of the Texas Association of Builders at the Excellence in Leadership Dinner on Tuesday, Nov. 4th, at the Hyatt Regency Austin, Texas. The role of association’s President is to provide guidance and leadership at the highest level, establishing a solid foundation that enables the association to grow and thrive. The installation was conducted by Paul Lyons, TAB Life Director, and 2025 Texas Housing Hall of Honor inductee, Robert Wood.
Chris’s lifelong passion for construction and real estate was nurtured from an early age by his parents—Paul, a home builder, and Mary Lou, a real estate professional—who have worked together to build and sell custom homes since 1983. Born and raised in Canyon, just south of Amarillo, Chris pursued a degree in Business Administration at West Texas A&M University. Upon graduation, he joined his mother at Lyons Realty and played a pivotal role in expanding the firm into a thriving 60-agent operation across Amarillo, Canyon, and Lubbock. In 2016, he launched HOME By Lyons, carrying forward the family legacy of creating exceptional custom and semi-custom homes throughout the Texas Panhandle and South Plains. Under his leadership, the company has earned recognition for its quality, innovation, and client-focused approach.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Chris has been deeply engaged in industry and community leadership. He has served on the West Texas A&M University Foundation Board, the West Texas Home Builders Association Board, and held multiple leadership positions within both the Texas Panhandle Builders Association and the Texas Association of Builders. In recognition of his contributions to the industry, Chris received the Excellence Under 45 Award from TAB in 2019.
