The Texas Trial Lawyers Association was founded in 1949 to protect the rights of Texas families to access the civil justice system. Today, 60 years later, TTLA has never been more committed to this endeavor. Since its inception, TTLA has been a steadfast defender of the civil justice system in Texas, and through exceptional leadership and vision, TTLA has worked hard to ensure that our members, their clients and ordinary citizens across this state have a voice in preserving a fair and equitable system of civil justice for everyone.
