Title: John Devine Describes What He Found in His Civil Court
Topic: Loser Pays Will Harm Texas Families and Small Businesses
Discussed by John Devine
with Former Elected Official
In Texas, Big Business, Big Insurance, and their elected officials are stating:
The purpose of tort reform is to reduce the amount of meritless – or frivolous –
litigation and excessive awards. Former Judge John Devine uses the story of the
“Straw Man” to explain the pending Loser Pays Bill – HB 274, currently in the
Texas Senate. Baylor College of Law surveyed the Texas Civil judges who
responded that there was no need for further legislation addressing frivolous
lawsuits. So why did Governor Perry elevate this issue as “An Emergency Issue”?
Does he need a “Straw Man”?

Title: Former State District Judge John Devine Sounds the Alarm for All To Call Their State Senator Urging a NO VOTE on Loser Pay
Topic: Loser Pays Will Harm Texas Families and Small Businesses
Discussed by John Devine
with Former Elected Official
Former Judge John Devine explains why the following is a false
premise: The stated purpose of the current tort reform effort in Texas is to
reduce the amount of meritless – or frivolous – litigation and excessive awards.
He describes what is happening in real life and what happened in his Court for
nearly eight years as a Civil Trial Judge in Harris County.
Former State District Court Judge John Devine encourages everyone to contact
their State Senators and urge them to vote NO on the Loser Pays
Bill. Big Business desires immunity from their wrong doing. Big Insurance does
not want to pay if you suffer serious injury in a car accident or because of a
natural disaster like a flood, tornado, hail storm, or hurricane.

Title: Former Judge John Devine Agrees with the Baylor Study: Courts are NOT Clogged with Frivolous Lawsuits or Excessive Jury Awards
Topic: Loser Pays Will Harm Texas Families and Small Businesses
Discussed by John Devine
with Former Elected Official
Former Judge John Devine knows from experience that the courts in
Texas are NOT clogged with frivolous lawsuits; nor are they
experiencing runaway jury awards. So, why is Big Business and
their allies in the insurance industry using their puppets in the Texas
Legislature to point at a “Straw Man”, a fictitious issue, to divert
attention away from truly pressing issues like redistricting, the budget,
teacher layoffs, the drought, and wild fires -- not to mention new job creation?

Title: Stopping Frivolous Lawsuits Is the Most Important Issue Facing Texans, According to Governor Perry
Topic: Loser Pays Will Harm Texas Families and Small Businesses
Discussed by John Devine
with Former Elected Official
Former Judge John Devine explains ‘The Law of Unintended
Consequences’. You may be harmed in a car accident and win a
judgment but still lose by being forced by the judge to pay the defendant’s
attorney fees. You may experience a natural disaster and win a suit against your
insurance company but still lose by being forced by the judge to pay the
insurance companies attorney fees. As a small business owner, you may bring a
cause for action in a breach of contract case, win but still lose by being
forced by the judge to pay your opponent’s attorney fees. You could win but
still be a loser! Is that fair?
