God bless Texas - TLR did!

At a Texans for Lawsuit Reform luncheon in Austin, in a most informative and entertaining speech, Atty Gen. Greg Abbott talked about the success of lawsuit reform in Texas. More doctors are practicing medicine, and fewer frivolous lawsuits. Of note, the omnibus tort reform bill HB 4 sponsored by former Rep. Joe Nixon, has been very successful. Most Texans don't know that the class action lawsuits which result in hundreds or thousands of plaintiffs getting nothing more than a coupon also provides justice to the ambulance-chasing lawyers who file those suits. If filed in Texas, instead of getting six-figure attorney fees when citizens get coupons, the lawyers who file those bills get paid like the plaintiffs they abuse do -- in coupons. Gotta love Texas!
