What happened: Two prominent, liberal personal injury trial lawyers have funneled $10 million into a new Political Action Committee (PAC) to influence Republican primaries and to undermine tort reform in Texas.

Tell me more: The PAC—Texans for Truth and Liberty PAC—reported spending nearly $1 million in June 2025, largely on Republican members of the Texas House of Representatives who voted in favor of a last-minute amendment gutting Senate Bill (SB) 30, legislation aimed at curtailing abusive litigation practices. SB 30—a Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick priority—received the support of every Republican State Senator during the recent legislative session.   

Worth noting: Records show that Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin of Arnold & Itkin have also funded Soros-linked Democratic PACs, and both voted in the 2024 Democratic primary.

TLR Thoughts: The creation of Arnold and Itkin’s Texans for Truth and Liberty PAC is a clear sign of personal injury trial lawyers’ attempt to weaken Texas’s civil justice system by positioning themselves as kingmakers in Republican primaries. TLR stands resolute in its support of principled leaders who understand the need to shut down abusive litigation and who are committed to keeping our legal system fair and efficient for all.
