How has East Texas not been shut down already?

• Zikes 10y ago
  Everybody in the chain of responsibility capable of doing so stands to financially benefit from this practice continuing. For a business to claim it's "based in" East Texas it'll have to pay its taxes there. Local litigation law firms are bringing tons of money into the area, further increasing local revenue. Shutting it down would probably even knock a significant slice off of the state's income.
