The Civil Justice Leadership Award



As a result of my work this legislative session, I was once again awarded the TLR, Civil Justice Leadership Award for work done in the 82nd legislative session. The recognition which I previously received for my work in the 81st legislative session, is awarded for outstanding work in supporting a fair and predictable civil justice system in Texas.

"He brings to the Legislature the experience and perspective of a seasoned litigator,” TLR PAC Chairman Richard Trabulsi said. "Rep. Peña stands up for his district and the best interest of Texas and we are proud to present him with TLR’s Civil Justice Leadership Award.”

TLR PAC is the political arm of Texans for Lawsuit Reform, the state’s largest civil justice reform organization. TLR is a bipartisan, volunteer-led coalition with more than 17,000 supporters residing in 818 Texas communities and representing 1,266 different businesses, professions and trades.

TLR PAC’s Civil Justice Leadership Award is presented to lawmakers who take a stand in support of the model lawsuit reforms that are boosting the Texas economy, creating jobs and increasing access to doctors and health care in every community.
