Legal Reform Now! is a part of Texans for Efficiency in Government, Inc. a nonprofit public benefit corporation. It is an independent, tax-exempt organization in accordance with Section 501©(3) of the Internal Revenue Code incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas.

We operate on the premise that when Americans have continuing good reliable information they generally make correct decisions about people and policy.

We believe that the operation of our legal system and its people components—lawyers, judges, lawyer elected officials and the industry which supports it—must be made transparent to the public.

To achieve this we believe that all deficiencies of our legal system must be thoroughly catalogued and the specific nature of each individual deficiency should be aggressively provided to the public.

To achieve this we believe that suggested solutions toward overcoming these deficiencies must in like manner be aggressively publicized.

To achieve this we believe that progress toward eliminating these deficiencies must then be measured and publicized over a long period of time so the public can evaluate the effectiveness of the various solutions. Much in the same manner that a private business uses skilled accountants to provide illuminating financial information to guide it toward its profit goals.

We at all times actively solicit the assistance of like minded citizens in helping to identify deficiencies or to provide solutions such that this site is a dynamic provider of information that brings about positive change.

We accept and in fact invite criticism of the information we have presented.

Vern Wuensche was born in the tiny farming community of McDade in central Texas, the third son of a handyman carpenter with a second grade education who worked for Elgin Butler Brick Company.  His mother was a farm girl and later a homemaker who was employed at Travis State School working in the laundry.  She completed the eighth grade. 

Vern completed McDade Elementary and then graduated from Elgin High School in 1963. In the fall he entered The University of Texas in Austin obtaining a BBA in accounting in 1967, and an MBA in management in 1968, graduating first in his class.

Following graduation—after a stint with the United States Army Reserve—he worked first as an auditor for Arthur Andersen & Co. and then as a tax consultant for Peat Marwick Mitchell & Co. Later he was employed with a series of smaller companies first as a cost accountant for a bag manufacturer, then as assistant controller for an oilfield company, and finally as local controller for several national residential homebuilders. He received his CPA certificate in 1975.

Together with his brother he founded his own company Woodmark Homes, Inc. in May of 1975 with $6,000.00, few contacts and little chance to borrow any additional capital. His company survived, it grew, and it made substantial profits in its third year in 1978. Following 1979’s downturn he had his first experience with our dysfunctional legal system where he spent four years pursuing a dishonest individual, obtaining a settlement barely equal to cost of his lawyer.  From this experience he gained the knowledge that there was little apparent benefit in pursuing justice or in using the courts to recover funds taken from his company.

This was the beginning of a difficult 30 year struggle to survive his construction business without a functioning legal system.  The true nature of it neither protected him nor his business from continuing and regular outrageous personal and financial assaults.  Where each assault was worse than the previous.

Following the last such assault in 2003 he formed Legal Reform Now! with a website at www.legalreform-now.org. in order to make transparent the true nature of our nation’s legal system.  So Americans could see for themselves the self-serving nature of a closed system of lawyers and judges most of whom in administering the legal process ignore their responsibility in obtaining justice.

And yet despite the continuing assaults Vern Wuensche's company Woodmark has had some proud moments. It has been recognized for building a number of award-winning projects for proment Houston clients. To mention one, a 6,000 square foot home built for a nationally proment individual was one seven projects in Texas to receive a design award from the Texas Society of Architects. An unsuccessful competitor on this project later built the home of President George Bush.

Today the focus of his efforts is Woodmark Kitchen & Bath, Inc., a stable and growing company with a ten-year history of renovating kitchens and baths in Houston.  Ninety percent of its work comes from referrals or previously satisfied customers. 

Vern is a former marathoner, has been a small businessman for thirty-one continuous years, is a member of the arts and design community, is an active political conservative, and a Christian who is serious about his faith. He has been active in Missouri Synod Lutheran churches and has attended them regularly all his life.  He is currently a member of Memorial Lutheran Church in Houston, Texas, where he served as an Elder for twenty years.

Vern has been active in Texas politics continuously for the past thirty-five years.  During the thirty-five years he worked on campaigns of every type. Observing and obtaining experience. And he attended all Republican conventions, usually as a state delegate.  With this broad and varied experience he obtained in depth understanding of the political process, particularly presidential campaigns.

Vern recently authored a book Overcoming Legal Abuse as an American Entrepreneur in which in the setting of his rural upbringing and through his own thirty-one years of experience as a residential building entrepreneur he illuminates the heart of what is wrong with our legal system. In it he also provides a large number of creative solutions to fix it.  The book is available on Barnesandnobel.com and Amazon.com
