| Sign the petition NOW - Tell TDI No! | ALERT: Please take a minute to sign this petition from our friends at Texas Watch urging TDI to reject the insurance industry's attempt to buy the rights of Texas homeowners. The rights of homeowners are under attack. At least one Texas insurance company is actively negotiating with the state insurance commissioner over new language that would subject homeowners to pre-dispute binding arbitration when the company low, slow, or no pays valid insurance claims. A decision on this key issue is imminent. Click on the headline to sign the petition. ________________________________________

The incident took place on November 27 when a male shooter opened fire in the parking lot of the clinic. Three people were killed and nine others were transported to a hospital with gunshot wounds.

Appellate Court Rejects Lawsuit by Worker Who Lost Lungs in Explosion | | A North Carolina court of appeals has rejected a lawsuit filed by a man who lost his lungs in an ammonia leak at his workplace.
