    Texas Lawyer: the ticker

    Public Citizen Inc. wants the court to turn down a request from Ford Motor Co. and Bridgestone-Firestone Inc. for a protective order that would keep documents in a tire-tread suit private. Public Citizen, a nonprofit public interest group founded by Ralph Nader, filed the amicus curiae brief in a suit filed in state court by a Crosby woman who was injured in an accident in 1999 in a Ford Explorer equipped with Firestone tires.
