AUSTIN – Texans for Lawsuit Reform (TLR) today issued the following statement regarding Gov. Greg Abbott’s 2021 State of the State Speech:

“Gov. Abbott’s State of the State address charts a clear course for economic and job growth as our state works to recover from the pandemic. We applaud the governor for highlighting the very real threat abusive and unnecessary COVID-19-related litigation presents for the wellbeing of Texas families and our economy,” TLR Senior Chairman Richard W. Weekley said. “Whether they relate to COVID-19 as the governor outlined, or target commercial vehicle operators as we have seen across the state, abusive lawsuits make the goods and services we need more expensive and harder to get, they kill job growth and they slow investment in our communities. We thank the governor for his leadership and hope the Texas Legislature will take quick action to address all forms of abusive litigation this session.”
