During the 2011 legislative session, TLR focused on passing laws to cut down on frivolous lawsuits. These included a case dismissal mechanism and an offer of settlement provision, which allow a defendant to make a settlement offer early in the litigation process, reducing the time and expense of litigation. TLR also focused on legislation to create efficiency in other areas of civil litigation, including appeals of controlling questions of law, Texas’ barratry statutes, trespasser liability and expediting small civil cases. Additionally TLR helped reform the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, which had nearly gone bankrupt because of abusive lawsuits filed by storm-chasing lawyers after Hurricane Ike.
