Elliott and Russell began working together on land development, subdivision development and home building over 40 years ago. Their business grew into commercial construction and renovation of Elliott and Russell’s own real estate investments, as well as real estate brokerage across Lubbock, Texas. The partners created James Morgan, Ltd. to begin development and construction of their jointly owned
assets in residential land development and commercial land assets. All assets currently owned by James Morgan, Ltd. were constructed and contracted within their own company. James Morgan Construction LLC was later founded to begin contracting outside James Morgan owned assets in 2018.
