About RGV CALA

Our history

Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA) is a grassroots movement of people concerned that lawsuit abuse hurts Texas families and Texas employers and can ultimately cost jobs, increase consumer prices and limit the availability of all types of goods and services. CALA is a community-based organization dedicated to highlighting the cost and consequences of lawsuit abuse, challenging those who abuse our legal system, and returning common sense and fairness to our courts.

Launched in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley in 1990, the CALA movement has spread throughout the state, with chapters in Central Texas, Corpus Christi and nationwide.

Our mission

Our history

Lawsuit abuse affects all of us by reducing access to health care, driving up the cost of consumer goods and limiting job creation. We pay more for everyday products and services because of junk lawsuits. Employers look closely at a state’s legal climate when choosing a location to expand or relocate. When it comes to lawsuit abuse, we all pay – and we all lose.

Rio Grande Valley Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse is dedicated to creating greater awareness of the cost and consequences of lawsuit abuse, challenging those who abuse our legal system, and returning common sense and fairness to our courts.
