AUSTIN — Governor Greg Abbott today received the endorsement from Texans for Lawsuit Reform (TLR), highlighting his strong conservative leadership in protecting Texas’ pro-growth legal system. Governor Abbott has led the fight to rein in lawsuit abuse, defend small businesses, and keep Texas the nation’s top state for jobs and economic growth.
“Texans for Lawsuit Reform has been a driving force in creating a fair, efficient, and predictable civil justice system that protects jobs and strengthens our economy,” said Governor Abbott. “By promoting freedom, innovation, and job creation, these reforms have helped Texas attract employers, support small businesses, and keep costs down for families. I am grateful for the unwavering support of Texans for Lawsuit Reform. Together, we will defend a civil justice system that keeps costs down for families, and protects small businesses. Texas will always stand for economic freedom, conservative judicial principles, and judges who apply the law as written.”
“As a former attorney and jurist, Governor Abbott knows first-hand that preserving a balanced, fair, and predictable civil justice system is vital to the Texas way of life and to the state’s pro-growth mindset and thriving business environment,” said TLR Chairman of the Board Dick Weekley on behalf of TLRPAC. “We are pleased that Governor Abbott continues to fight against new and evolving abuses of our courts. Throughout his decade in office, Governor Abbott has prioritized shutting down job-killing lawsuit abuses and making Texas courts fairer and more efficient—including the landmark creation of the Texas Business Court, which is exceeding expectations with more than 220 cases filed across the state’s five largest cities. It is thanks to Governor Abbott’s strong conservative leadership that Texas reigns supreme as the largest job creator in the nation and the best place for business relocations and expansions. Governor Abbott’s experience, skills and vision for a more prosperous Texas remain unmatched. TLRPAC is proud to endorse him.”
For decades, TLR has worked to ensure Texas remains a place where businesses can grow, jobs can be created, and consumers can thrive without the burden of abusive litigation. Under Governor Abbott’s leadership, Texas has continued to lead the nation in economic growth while maintaining a fair civil justice system.
