Watch your mouth! Why Texas Could Make It Easier To Sue You for What You Say

from Y'all-itics · host WFAA

You can be sued for sharing thoughts, opinions, or even facts. But Texas law protects you against frivolous lawsuits meant to intimidate you into shutting up. However, a proposed bill now threatens to weaken that protection. That has united some odd bedfellows to save the law. Spoiler alert: At the end of this podcast, the staggering legal fees one lawmaker is owed after he was sued and invoked this very law. Our guest is Laura Lee Prather, a Texas attorney and fierce free speech advocate now leading the charge to protect a law that's now in jeopardy. Guest: Laura Lee Prather, Attorney/Partner/Chair of Media Law Practice Group, Haynes Boone
