The positions, and the documents they come from

Every position below links to the record it was read from. We do not store one without a link — a claim you cannot check is the thing this list exists to prevent.

  • ForTX-89-sb30Relating to recovery of health care-related damages in certain civil actions.

    “It simply makes no sense, either from a health care finance or civil justice fairness point of view, to have one market for health care services in lawsuits and another for everything else.”

  • ForTX-89-sb779Relating to common law public nuisance claims.

    “In any event, SB 779/HB 3964 merely seek to interdict an increasingly common form of lawsuit abuse: pleading public nuisance in every environmental or product liability case in an effort to duplicate and ramify potential damages.”

Marked positions are on record but not yet counted: we have not placed those bills on our scale, so they do not move any number on this page.

What it says on the issues

Statements that name no bill. Each was placed on one of our lines by reading the quote, and kept only where our quiz questions on that line, answered from the same quote, lean the same way. Each counts like one answer to a quiz question.

  • Law & Crime: Criminal & Civil Codeless policy activity in Law & Crime: Criminal & Civil Code

1 more reading was held back because the quiz questions on that line did not agree with it, or could not be answered from the quote.

What we don't have on this organization

  • No politicians linked

    We have no contribution from this organization to any candidate on file yet. The contribution walk is still running, so this may be a gap in our ingestion rather than in its giving.

  • No committee totals

    This committee’s own receipts and disbursements — its totals as filed — are not ingested. What we hold about its money is the contributions we have matched to named candidates.
