Through political action, legal, academic and market research, and grassroots initiatives, TLR fights for common-sense reforms that keep Texas open for business.
TLR issued the following statement today following the announcement by Governor Rick Perry that he will not seek re-election. TLR President, Richard J. Trabulsi, Jr., said:
“Governor Rick Perry has been the most effective tort reformer in our nation’s history.”
TLR just completed its tenth legislative session of advocacy for lawsuit reform. In each and every session, TLR has helped pass meaningful civil justice reforms; we have also worked with legislators in both parties to draft provisions in bills that would either benefit, or not harm, the fairness and balance of the Texas civil justice system.
(Houston, TX) Texans for Lawsuit Reform Chairman and CEO, Richard W. Weekley issued the following statement on the passing of Bob Perry:
“We are shocked and saddened at the loss of our dear and good friend Bob Perry. Bob was truly a Texas giant whose legendary compassion, vision and commitment to principle has changed the face of Texas and improved the lives of thousands of people.
(Austin, TX) On this President’s Day, Texans for Lawsuit Reform again honors the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, for his strong stand against frivolous lawsuits and his expressed belief that such suits waste time and money and are rooted in greed. Always counted among our greatest and most visionary presidents, Lincoln saw more than a hundred-fifty years ago that lawsuit abuse was detrimental, not only to the legal profession, but to society as a whole.
(Austin, TX) Texans for Lawsuit Reform is singularly focused on civil justice issues, but our leaders work on a broad range of public policy issues. The visionary thinking and innovative approach of TLR’s Senior Chairman, Leo Linbeck, Jr., is revealed in this recent interview by nationally syndicated columnist Scott Burns.
Texans for Lawsuit Reform President, Richard J. Trabulsi, Jr., issued the following statement today on the passing of State Rep. Ken Legler:
“The leadership and staff of Texans for Lawsuit Reform are shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of our friend and ally, State Rep. Ken Legler. Ken was a hard-working legislator who was devoted to the people in his district. He will be missed. Our prayers are with his wife and family.”
(Austin, TX) Texans for Lawsuit reform today denounced a proposed platform resolution circulated to Republican county convention delegates over the weekend that would be a boon for Texas’s trial lawyers and a disaster for Texas’s job creators.
(Austin, TX) Texans for Lawsuit Reform issued the following statement today in response to the release of a report by Texas Watch entitled, “Thumbs on the Scale: A Retrospective of the Texas Supreme Court.”
In considering the deeply flawed findings of this “report,” Texans need to have the facts about Texas Watch, the group that authored this report. Texas Watch is a pro-trial lawyer group that has worked for over a decade to overthrow tort reforms and increase opportunities to sue.
