Sine Die is here, and TLR is celebrating some major victories for Texas’s business environment. SB 29, corporate governance law, makes Texas the preferred destination for corporate reincorporation and relocation, and HB 40, a bill expanding the jurisdiction of the Texas Business Court, will make Texas even more enticing to businesses. While we celebrate these victories, TLR is greatly disappointed that critical civil justice reform bills, SB 30, SB 39, and SB 779 failed to pass this session. The costs of inaction on lawsuit reform are massive, and Texas lawmakers must make these issues a priority in the 90th Texas Legislative Session.

TLR Tuesdays is hosted by Lee Parsley and Mary Tipps and features conversations about the Texas litigation environment and the reforms that are crucial to keeping Texas the best place in the nation to live and to work.

In this week’s episode, TLR President and General Counsel Lee Parsley and TLR Executive Director Mary Tipps welcome a Fort Worth resident to share her story. Lisa was involved in an accident and hired a lawyer to help her. Soon thereafter, she discovered a complex web of inflated medical bills from her attorney and the doctors they instructed her to see – including excessive charges for appointments she didn't attend and services she never received. Lisa is still fighting for the truth, fighting for her settlement and fighting to get back to good health.
