Initial Efforts Aimed at Supporting Legislative Efforts to Protect Consumers and Lower Prices 

Washington, D.C. – Protecting American Consumers Together (PACT), a 501(c)(4) national advocacy and educational organization, is expanding into Texas as part of its multistate effort to protect consumers from predatory personal injury practices and help lower prices. 

PACT launched earlier this year and has focused its efforts on ending the exploitative practices of the predatory personal injury system—commonly known as billboard attorneys—who use aggressive tactics that drive up costs for every American, all while undermining trust in the legal system.  After a successful campaign launch in January 2025, PACT is expanding its efforts to states across the country to raise awareness and push for commonsense reforms to the personal injury system. 

PACT’s Texas efforts are aimed at supporting legislation to end lawsuit abuse, which will protect consumers and lower costs for families. Momentum is on the side of acting, and Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick recently listed lawsuit abuse reform legislation as a “priority” this session. As legislative efforts develop, PACT’s Texas campaign will include a paid advertising campaign, spanning radio, television, newspaper ads, and digital, as well as policy education communications, grassroots organizing, and rapid response efforts.

“PACT is expanding our mission to Texas to stand up for families and protect consumers from skyrocketing costs brought on by excessive litigation,” said PACT Executive Director Lauren Zelt. “We look forward to working in the state to get these commonsense reforms across the finish line, protect consumers who want to access the legal system with respect, and put money back in the pockets of hardworking Texans.”   

Nationally, PACT is engaged in efforts at the federal level to drive awareness and reform around the personal injury system. A national poll conducted by PACT last month found that 74% of voters believe that Congress and the Trump Administration should eliminate the hidden tax brought by lawsuit abuse.  PACT has also focused its state-level efforts on Georgia, where it has undertaken a seven-figure ad campaign aimed at supporting Governor Kemp’s legislation to lower costs for families.
