Big Tex Trucking is unraveling in slow motion — and one ringer attorney already noticed
Big Tex's Unsafe Driving BASIC crossed the 87th percentile this month, climbing from 52 in just 90 days, while ELD hours-of-service violations doubled. UCC filings show three new merchant-cash-advance liens stacked over 21 days — Kapitus, Forward Financing, and CFG Merchant Solutions — the textbook MCA distress pattern. Aerial pixel-diff confirms it: their Houston yard is 71% empty against the 90-day baseline. They're either selling tractors or parking them. And inbound, Morgan & Morgan is now running named-business Meta ads in ZIP 77036 — 'Were you hurt on a Big Tex truck?' — at an estimated $14k/month. Kessler Hightower PLLC has already filed one rear-end soft-tissue demand against them and is on three other Travelers files this month. This is the kind of book account where the loss frequency hasn't caught up to the leading indicators yet. It will.
