Engineering Judicial Efficiency through Protocol-Based Neutrality.
The Texas Mediation Research Project (TMRP) is a 36-month clinical trial designed to eliminate “Legal Churn” and restore the constitutional integrity of the 7th Amendment through the science of linguistic domain isolation.
Why Traditional Mediation is Failing the Texas Taxpayer.
Every year, thousands of “settled” cases return to the docket within 180 days. This recidivism, or “Legal Churn,” costs major Texas counties over $2.25M annually in administrative waste.
The Cause
Lack of standardized neutrality and “Evaluative Overreach” by mediators who blur the boundary between facilitation and adjudication.
The Result
Congested dockets and compromised party self-determination, undermining the very foundations of alternative dispute resolution.
A Cyber-Clinical Approach to Resolution.
The TMRP Study
The TMRP Clinical Trial plans to scientifically compare the leading mediation approaches used today with the Thought Resolution Protocol™, to evaluate which mediation approach produces the best outcomes for the Texas judiciary and disputants while complying with the TCPRC under § 154.023.
Cybersecure Clinical Hubs
Laboratory-grade, stationary environments engineered to streamline data capture while maintaining absolute trial privacy and chain-of-custody integrity.
Biometric Redaction
State-of-the-art audio de-identification technology that protects citizen identity while preserving the full research integrity of every session.

By the Numbers: The 15% Shift.
The TMRP is a high-integrity clinical study designed to isolate the mediation methodologies that align most effectively with Texas Legislative Mediation Practice Standards while maximizing party satisfaction. By identifying the specific drivers of settlement durability, we aim to validate an approach that yields a 15% reduction in relitigation. This strategic shift will dismantle the cycle of 'legal churn,' returning thousands of judicial bench hours to the Texas court system and optimizing the allocation of taxpayer funds. A 15% reduction in case recidivism yields $1.26M in judiciary administrative savings, hence, taxpayer dollars.
