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 insurance companies and big business have flooded many states with millions of dollars in an effort to shut the courthouse doors to average citizens.  For example, Ohio has recently limited the discretion of jurors to render damage awards in civil lawsuits, creating a completely arbitrary "damage" cap. 

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.

In Texas, groups like "Texans for Lawsuit Reform" and their ilk, run by mega-wealthy businessmen and backed by millions of dollars of special interest and insurance company money, have tried to shut the courthouse doors to Texans.  A lot of their money comes from out of state business interests.
