Gov. Greg Abbott credits TLR and lawsuit reform
Welcome to TLR’s new blog, For the Record! Check back periodically for posts from our leadership and staff on everything from the lawsuit reform and legislative issues we’re following, to books and movies we’re enjoying, to the people and places we’re visiting and more. Our goal is to give you a glimpse into a day in the life at TLR and at some of the things we find interesting.
For our first post, we wanted to share this video of Gov. Greg Abbott’s comments at a recent press conference. Members of the TLR staff were on hand to see the governor accept Site Selection Magazine’s Governor’s Cup for job creation and economic growth. The governor gave TLR and lawsuit reform a shout out for helping to grow Texas’ economy and create opportunity for families. This was the sixth time in a row—and a record-breaking 14th time—Texas has taken home the Governor’s Cup. We were honored to be there to watch Gov. Abbott accept this award, and honored that our work helps strengthen our state’s economy and make our courts fairer and more predictable for all.
That’s all for this week! Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter so you can be the first to know when the latest blog is posted. And if you haven’t already, sign up for our Weekly News Clips email so you can stay up to date on the latest lawsuit reform news from Texas and around the country.

This has effectively shut a large swath of Texans out of the court system. We at TLR think there is a better way. Read and share the latest TLR blog: bit.ly/2UIJB42
