TLR had a strong ally during its first legislative session in Gov. George W. Bush and Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, who prioritized reining in Texas’ out of control lawsuit environment in order to grow our economy and create opportunities for families by working to pass TLR’s first legislative agenda, which included reforms to the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, judicial campaign finance reform, proportionate responsibility, punitive damages, frivolous lawsuits, public servant liability, healthcare liability, property owner liability and venue shopping.
