Worker says managers leaked her medical info, then wrote her up for "pushback"
A pregnant escrow assistant says D.R. Horton's HR machinery did not just fail her - it powered her harassment.
J. Alexis Magee filed suit on April 29, 2026 in the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas against D.R. Horton, Inc. - which the complaint describes as the largest homebuilder in the United States - its title subsidiary DHI Title, and three co-workers. She brings claims under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, the PUMP Act for Nursing Mothers, and Texas state law for assault and negligent retention.
Magee worked as an escrow assistant in D.R. Horton's Houston North Division Corporate Office in Conroe, Texas. According to the complaint, what started as petty taunting from three co-workers - Emily DeSpain, Mariah Wisnowski, and Maribel Soto - turned into 32 months of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation that her managers either ignored or joined.
The HR mechanics will sound familiar to anyone in the function. Magee has ADHD. She says she disclosed it in confidence to her branch manager, Christine Miles, who then spread the information around the office. The complaint alleges Miles told her she was "too sensitive" and that "the girls shouldn't have to tip-toe around your feelings," and floated termination on multiple occasions with the line, "I'd hate to have to fire you."
