According to the Texas Tribune, In a not-so-surprising move, the Texas State Legislature decided by a margin of 91-55 to help out the other good ole boys in the good ole boy network, those poor ailing insurance companies, struggling under the burden of storm related claims they are obliged to cover. The bill would tend to "reduce the penalties insurance companies face when they don’t pay enough, decrease the chances they will have to pay the plaintiff’s attorneys fees and protect individual agents from the negative effects of being personally sued — most notably diminished credit scores."
