The conservative group Texans for Texas has launched a campaign to oppose any attempt by plaintiff's attorneys to exert influence in Republican politics. The group has set up a website and a blog, where it will track efforts of the plaintiff's bar to influence Republicans. It has also issued a report that is highly critical of some GOP office holders.

Janelle ShepardThe group's executive director Janelle Shepard is a nurse who has been very active in the past in efforts to pass caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits. The group is distributing a pledge that it wants lawmakers to sign where they pledge not to work for a major plaintiff law firm and not to accept campaign donations from the "Tobacco Five" attorneys who sued the tobacco industry for the state or from Baron & Budd or Mark Lanier.
