We seek more transparency, not less. Juries should not be shielded from this info. What opponents overlook is that when you continue exploiting the Texas civil justice system like this you drive people & companies who invest in safety away. Replaced by the unqualified.
Personal injury cases are exploding. Up 70% in state courts over the past decade, according to The New York Times. That is a lot more money moving through a system where lawyers, medical providers, and outside funders can all have a piece of the action.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of the @TX_TA! Texas runs on trucking – the freight and logistics network powers our entire economy. As Comptroller, I’ll continue championing policies to keep Texas MOVING!

In accidents involving big rigs and passenger vehicles, 70% of the time it is the passenger car’s fault. With the busy holiday travel season ahead, it’s more important than ever for drivers to put safety first — and #RespectTheRig. Start by practicing safe driving habits like avoiding blind spots, giving big trucks extra room and passing them safely. Find more tips at RespectTheRig.org.

A key vote on TSSMA is expected soon. @RepMcCaul, @RepPfluger, & @RepTonyGonzales can join our effort to support Texas HAZMAT drivers by voting to pass this bill in @HomelandGOP.

Skilled truckers in Texas who haul HAZMAT fill a critical role, but TSA increased the fee these drivers must pay for their background check application by 70%. We need reform to alleviate this burden. Thank you @RepLuttrell for supporting TSSMA!
