In this series, we’ve explored the meteoric rise of Texans for Lawsuit Reform and the men responsible for its success. In this final episode, we’ll ask what happens when an organization achieves its goals but can’t step away from the seat of power it’s occupied for so long. And we’ll ask, has TLR “become what it set out to replace?”
Texans for Lawsuit Reform is the state’s most powerful political action committee by any objective measure, a position it’s maintained for years. In this episode of Exposed, we’ll examine TLR’s war chest, how some would argue their donors are being taken for a ride, and find out who they are truly empowering.
Texans for Lawsuit Reform effectively operated in the shadows for years… until they didn’t. In this episode, we’ll track TLR in the shadows, talk to insiders who have been working to overcome the backroom influence of the organization for decades, and shine a spotlight on the very public fight TLR picked with Texas GOP voters by trying to take out Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Who were the men behind the vision to reform Texas courts?
In this episode, we’ll learn who they are, their backgrounds, and their roles in the organization that, unbeknownst to most citizens, changed Texas.
Who is Texans for Lawsuit Reform and how did they become a powerful force in Texas? In this season of Exposed, we’ll introduce you to TLR, a group that, against all odds, boldly defeated the corrupt power brokers ruling Texas, only to see themselves become the very thing they were created to stop.
