Texas is conservative -- with a small c. Lots of suspicion towards outsiders generally, and towards large corporations in particular, have resulted in many outsized jury verdicts (in non-IP or patent cases) from Texas, as well as other red states like Mississippi, Alabama, Florida panhandle, etc. It certainly isn't the 17 story cash register that LA Superior Court, Downtown Civil Division is, but the smaller counties in Texas aren't bad at all from a plaintiffs' perspective. Just be sure the lead lawyer on the trial team is from around there and speaks with something of a twang.
