Texans for Lawsuit Reform
Public Policy Offices
A volunteer-led organization working to restore fairness and balance to our civil justice system.
About us
We are Republicans, Democrats and Independents from across Texas. We are small business owners, homemakers and community volunteers. We are lawyers who want the civil justice system in Texas to be efficient and fair. We are plant managers who want our companies to continue to grow and to create even more jobs for Texans. We are consumers who oppose the wasteful “tort tax” applied to products and services when frivolous litigation is prevalent. We are ranchers and teachers who have anguished over needless lawsuits. We are doctors and nurses who have seen colleagues abandon their chosen professions because of the emotional and financial toll imposed by legal assaults. We are the citizens of Texas who want a better future for ourselves and our children. We’re the faces of Texas… more than 16,800 individual supporters in 900 towns and cities, representing 1,255 different trades, businesses and professions.
