Re:   No. 12-0957, In re FordMotor Company
Dear Mr. Hawthorne:
The Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America respectfully
submits this letter brief as amicus curiae in support of the petition for rehearing in
the above-referenced case.
The Chamber is the world's largest business organization, representing
300,000 direct members and indirectly representing the interests of more than 3
million companies and professional organizations of every size, in every industry,
from every region of the country.
Key to the Texas economy remaining the strongest in the Nation is the
predictability of the State's legal system-particularly the protection the Texas
Legislature has afforded against unnecessary litigation risk and expense. See, e.g.,
U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform, Ranking the States Lawsuit Climate
1     No counsel for a party authored this brief in whole or in part, and no counsel or party
made a monetary contribution intended to fund the preparation of submission of this brief No
person other than amicus curiae, its members, or its counsel made a monetary contribution to its
preparation or submission. TEX. R. APP. P. 11.
