Texas Trial Lawyers Association

The Texas Trial Lawyers Association (TTLA) is an organization dedicated to protecting Texas families through good laws and good lawyers. Founded in 1949 as the Plaintiffs Attorneys Association of Texas, TTLA focuses on defending the right to trial by jury and advocating for civil justice. Its mission is driven by a commitment to ensuring everyone deserves access to the courts and accountability.

The association serves as a resource for trial lawyers, offering tools, education, and networking opportunities to help its members succeed in the courtroom. TTLA provides continuing legal education (CLE) programming specifically centered on the plaintiff's practice, designed to help members keep pace with the evolving legal environment. It also facilitates professional connections through a robust statewide network and an online community, described as a "virtual law firm," where members can share insights and strategies.

TTLA engages in legislative advocacy, representing trial lawyers and their clients before the Texas Legislature. Its approach is non-partisan and exclusively focused on civil justice, aiming to ensure a strong civil justice system accessible to all Texans.
