Texas Alliance For Patient Access is a statewide coalition of doctors, hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and physician liability insurers.
TAPA was formed in 2001 with a singular goal: improving access to health care through enactment and preservation of meaningful medical lawsuit reforms.

 
Real Reform:
The Right Prescription For Health Care

"The Texas Alliance For Patient Access was a galvanizing force behind the passage of Texas' much-needed medical liability reforms. They did extensive research, crafted good policy papers and new legislation, and successfully lobbied for the passage of a landmark reform bill to protect patient access to quality health care."

Rick Perry, Governor of Texas
