(The Woodlands, TX) Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC today awarded State Senator Tommy Williams the TLR Civil Justice Leadership Award for his support of a fair and predictable civil justice system in Texas. Speaking to a luncheon in The Woodlands, TLR PAC Chairman Richard Trabulsi said:
"Senator Williams was a vigilant and committed leader in the fight to stop dozens of bad trial lawyer bills in the State Senate last session and played a key role in the ultimate defeat of three major pieces of legislation that would have rolled back lawsuit reforms in Texas that have boosted our economy in these tough economic times. A longtime supporter of lawsuit reform, Senator Williams always stands up for the best interests of Texas."
TLR PAC's Civil Justice Leadership Award is presented to lawmakers who take a stand in support of the model lawsuit reforms that are boosting the Texas economy, creating jobs and bringing doctors to every community.
Senator Williams represents Texas Senate District 4, which includes Chambers, Liberty and Orange County, as well as parts of Harris, Jefferson Montgomery County. He is Chairman of the Administration Committee and also on the Education Committee, the Finance Committee and the International Relations and Trade Committee.
