Texas legislators are on the verge of passing a new law that could encourage out-of-state insurance companies to sue Texas property owners for making coverage claims regarding damage caused by severe weather. Business leaders opposing the legislation, which legal experts say places expensive and time-consuming burdens on business and individual property owners who want to legally challenge their insurance carriers for wrongly denying their claims, flooded state legislators with letters, emails and phone calls this week in an effort to kill the proposed law, which is expected to come up for a final vote before the legislative session ends Tuesday.
