She got the civil statute of limitations extended to age 48 back in 2019.
Um, and... that's great, but it wasn't retroactive.
So again, as I mentioned, if you were abused between 1995 and 2015 in Texas, you still only have until the age of 23 to sue.
Then it got extended to 33, not to 48.
But that only applies to victims after 2019.
So since that was passed in 2019, it only applies to survivors who were abused after 2019.
They have until age 48.
But Jeff Leach, this was personal to him.
Then I meet with Senator Angela Paxton.
And turns out it's quite personal to her as well.
She's a former school teacher and counselor.
She's a mother and a grandmother.
And she has zero chill about child abuse.
And I told her about a former student of hers that is under an NDA.
Was, now I can say was, under an NDA.
And he had been in her 10th grade math class.
And when I said... I'm not gonna say his name, but when I said, so-and-so says hello, and this is personal to him, she burst into tears, and she told her team, this is why God put me in the legislature.
To pass this bill.
So I want people to know they're not all bad.
There are people that have fought with me tooth and nail.
