There are many reasons for joints to crack, in addition to what's been said. I seriously doubt they omitted the tape. I would be willing to bet they did the hillbilly corner deal with one 2 x 4 overlapping the other with an offset to catch the other piece of drywall.

While I have seen this a lot and not seen the same resulting cracks, if the two pieces of 2x4's were poorly nailed, I could see this happening. It doesn't really take much movement to crack paper tape. If the house was built during lousy weather, temporary heat like kerosene or propane, along with all the added moisture of paint, drywall mud, etc.

I am building a new home in Tomball. The builder recently poured the slab about a week ago. When I checked on the progress yesterday I noticed a crack in two places.

Dig in the corner a little bit and see if you see the paper tape. If you aren't sure what you are looking for, get somebody over your house that does. If there is tape, I would cut some holes on either side of the corner and see what they did underneath. Chances are your problem will be only with these two corners.

Drywall is not that hard to fix, just have somebody do it that knows what they are doing. Don't practice on your own house. BTW, did you get any nail pops? Mike Hawkins oh yeah I have nail pops. Improper fastening and or lack of nailers in the corners are the likely candidate.

A nail in the top into the plate and a clip slipped over the edge midway and at the bottom of the board were nailed to the corner stud opposite.

The clips only slipped onto the board 1/2' or so so if the corner was out of square somewhat the clip had to slide closer to the stud for nailing and often just barely stayed on the rock. The slightest twisting or shrinking movement in the stud and the clip would be off and rendered useless. Even if the clips held, there is a lot of movement without a properly framed corner. Don't know if clips are still being used, but it's another possibility. And as stated above, the rock could have been just butted in the corner without being fastened at all due to lack of framing or some other reason.
