What Others Say about TLR PAC

“For years and years Texas was known as the ‘Lawsuit Capital of the World.’ That has changed in large part because of the work of Texans for Lawsuit Reform. Their political, legislative, media, polling and legal experts have proven themselves a top-notch team who work effectively under a volunteer leadership determined to return fairness to our civil courts.”

December 2010 Advocate: A Sweeping Victory for Lawsuit Reform
The November 2nd elections in Texas were not only traditional partisan contests, but also a reflection of the continuing battle to maintain and improve the successful lawsuit reforms of the last fifteen years, which have helped make Texas the best state in the nation in which to start or grow a business and create jobs.

One trial lawyer, Steve Mostyn, put in nearly ten million dollars of his own money to influence Texas elections in this cycle. In contrast, the funding for TLR PAC, and therefore for the candidates we support, comes from scores of different professions and occupations, including homemakers, consultants, retailers, ranchers, farmers, manufacturers, miners, developers, entrepreneurs, physicians, lawyers, accountants … and the list goes on.
