Texas Secretary of State Dissolves Anti-Justice Group Texans for Lawsuit Reform

Texans for Lawsuit Reform, a shady group run by rich business and insurance interests, has apparently been dissolved by the Texas Secretary of State.

This group spent literally millions of dollars in an effort to shut the courthouse doors to widows, young children, the elderly, single mothers, and those who are seriously injured by corporate or insurance company wrongdoing.

Although certain wrongdoers will be sorry that the Texas Secretary of State dissolved the group, Texans interested in access to justice will no doubt rejoice at this news.

The limits resulted from a flood of millions of dollars from big business and insurance companies.

The net result is that the courthouse doors are being slammed shut for average citizens.
