Arnold & Itkin Funded Democrat Ads
Houston’s own mega-rich trial lawyers, lifelong Democrat donors, and the newest players trying to buy influence inside the Texas Republican Party.
For decades, Arnold & Itkin poured millions into Democratic campaigns, committees, and PACs working to turn Texas blue. They backed George Soros–funded groups, gave to the DNC, and supported liberal activists attacking law enforcement and conservative leaders.
Now they’re trying something new: a rebrand.
They decided to pretend to be Republicans.
They started showing up at the Texas Capitol, lobbying conservative legislators against two of Lt. Governor Dan Patrick’s priority bills—S.B. 30 and S.B. 39.
S.B. 30 would have stopped their ability to manufacture evidence in lawsuits.
S.B. 39 would have limited their ability to mislead jurors with irrelevant evidence in truck-crash cases.
Both would have made trials fairer.
At the same time, dark money groups funded by ambulance chasers launched a multi-million-dollar campaign of lies and deception, using conservative-sounding fronts to flood the airwaves, inboxes, and telephones of Republican voters.
And after a legislative session that threatened their lucrative legal practices, Arnold & Itkin suddenly started showing up across Texas as “Republican donors.”
Their PAC, Texans for Truth & Liberty, spent nearly $800,000 to fund Republicans and Democrats who helped them kill these two bills supported by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and more than 1,200 Texas businesses, associations, and individuals.
Now their PAC is sitting on $10 million to spend in Texas GOP primaries.
These aren’t converts. They’re imposters. They’re investors whose return on investment depends on silence, deceit, and confusion—not principles.
